Wow this didn't aged well. In 2024 we already have 5-10kWp DIY systems under $2000

Great video! couple of questions - I cant find panels that are rated 32V/300W as you mention in your video. maybe things have changed since you made it? I see most are rated 11v to 20V which should still work with the grid inverter. Also - why didn't you use the solar controller and battery bank to run the inverters? thanks again for taking the time to make the video - very helpful!

Wow! Impressive! Cannot compare electric with gas. Gas wins every time. thank you for a great video.

Are those inverters ul1741 certified. And anti-islanding

I don’t see enough returns from the grid tie back to the grid.

Not soapy enough..

I have four 300 watts solar panels with enphase IQ7+ Microinverters. How can I prevent backfeed on the grid?

Awesome video!

Why didn’t you connect 3 panels in parallel to one inverter? Still less than 1000W

Am I weird,why is it not secured to the table top?

a weird physics thing with heat is that if you dont have forced air heating and are only relying on natural convection, a matt black coated heat sink will stay a lot cooler than a shiny metalic one. metals have basically no emissive cooling, where as a perfect black body has a lot better cooling from radieation. even a dark layer of paint will keep those inverters cooler. wish they came in black yo. not a lot of engineers know this coz they didnt take advanced thermo

what are the auto relays called and where did you buy

conduit will rust if wet you can get waterproof conduit

Thank you 🙏

Thanks 🙏

Hello, would love to hear an update of how well these grid tied inverters have lasted these 4 years!!

Wow! Your demo is even better, faster and simpler than the other video that I previous viewed. His was good, but yours was better. Thank you!!

Speaking too rapidly

Thanks !! Great video I might be starting this project soon

1. Drip leg 2.Exterior pipe should get some polyken wrap & black paint 3. Easy on the pipe dope. Yellow tape works well also. 4. Use leak seek, not a solution that will corrode your pipe. Wait longer for bubbles, use and inspection mirror. 4. Pressure test if you can. 5. Purge air that may have become trapped until you smell the metcaptan Cheers! Cheers.

Isnt connecting straight to an outlet a fire hazard?

Where I'm located home owners are not allowed to install gas lines unless they're TSSA certified gas fitter. Be careful with gas lines.

Gas lines are NOT 5 psi. They're usually around 1 quarter psi.

Great video, no bullsh1t, good info,l. Love it

I would really love to see the relay wiring in more detail. I would love to have a grid tie that only turns on when my air conditioning does.

Where are the links to the parts?

Simply plugging a power source into the grid can be very dangerous for line workers. Most municipalities have codes regarding this.

If you run fmc exposed at least try to put more passion and do it neatly

Just run PEX pipe to the stove top. Easy right?

Awesome summary. Thank you.

I have been trying for a long time to change the clock and I cant find the manual... Thanks so much James for your video.. it made my day...

where did you get the auto relay disable relays fom, and what is the box calledheir plugged into,i cant find on amazon, th ones on the right side of the video

I plugged mine in ac and no power for 12 v Junk I guess..fuses were good too.

Anytime you install a new gas line to an appliance in most places it is code to install a drip leg. The drip leg allows impurities in the gas to settle into it instead of clogging up very sensitive orifices..

I'm sorry but this video should be deleted as soon as possible

Excellent video, James. Very useful! I have a question, how do you know you are getting 32 vdc out of the solar panels, and how do you pick the right inverter? My concern is not selecting compatible items and mess around the circuit. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge and time!

Mayo sa come si spinge

What happens if you used more than one on the same breaker

how are they holding up 3 years later?

Thanks alot! You helped us very good!

that relay setup is some hoodrat stuff. get a few lifepo4 batteries.

Ty good day !

FMC? Is that a word? Didn't find it in any dictionary.

My area does not require FMC or connecting to water lines.

So not through the meter, but it has a space for it.

What the difference between the braided ground vs solid?

Where did he plug the gas cooktop? Is there a way to use the old power source to power the gas cooktop?

Shut off valves should not be installed behind a stove , there is no access during a grease fire. Also when you soap fittings you need to go back in case there’s a slow fuzzer .

Hi can we use grey barbecue pipe to use connect cooktop

Thanks easy and fast
