@LordSaliss 2 года назад

I recently found your channel and have loved watching the videos on it. I do understand you want to keep the forest feeling and being off-grid with the wilderness around the house, but it really looks like the panels get a lot of shading by mid-afternoon. It might be really helpful to cut down just 1-2 more trees and bring in an extra hour of good sunshine.

@mrkanangra 2 года назад

Man that is a extremely expensive system. I'm in Australia - those SOK batteries are $3,000 AUD EACH. and those Victron products would easily be $20+ K all up, the Quattro is at least $5K and then there are the panels.... So I would estimate your setup is about $50K+ USD???? I mean you are using the BEST branded products but can you please tell us how much the total cost is please?. I look at solar and love it, but I also look at how much it costs me in Power bills a year ( here in Sydney, Australia I pay around $3200 AUD a year for a 5 br house. Solar panels last about 15-20 years at most, so for many people it is not worth it, but if you live in the woods then different story. Have you ever looked at hydro power? - there is a YT channel Gridlessness - they have this awesome Canadian made mini hydro turbine.....

@CurrentConnected 2 года назад

Comparing the cost of an off-grid system to a a power bill when existing grid is in place will leave you shocked...However, when you compare the cost of an off-grid system to the cost of a utility install when the lines are miles away, it quickly becomes far more cost effective to build your own system.

@swsuwave 2 года назад

@@stargazer7644 There are always 2 or more prices - web carts always have MAP or minimized ADVERTISED price, what you pay if you add to cart then check out. If you go through systems engineering, you pay for the system as a whole, typically well below website "CART" pricing. Also, full systems ship truck freight, while websites can never estimate truck rates so they tend to over estimate big "cart" shipping. There are also b2b discounts which websites almost never have except for really large companies like HP or DELL. The most expensive way to buy is piece together a system made of "best deals" from every vendor because A) they don't work together and B) there's a reason every "great deal" is low priced.

@PartTimeYooper 2 года назад

I will be very interested to see how this performs in winter. I live at similar latitude, have slightly larger system on PV side than this one (but only 75% battery capacity), but still find the generator runs every couple days just managing a house load and small apartment, no heavy demand tools. I do like the battery rack system vs one or two large batteries, but the biggest issue I find is there just isn't enough sun, long enough, to catch up in winter. Can't wait to see the progress.

Just as a rough estimate, $300/KWh for the batteries, so 60x300=$18000 $360/panel 24x360=$8640 The inverters are probably in the $4000 range for the two inverters and another $3-5000 for the other equipment. Racking and wiring probably another $2500.. They are pushing $40K plus the shipping container.

@FJB2020 2 года назад

This setup could have been done for 2/3rds of what this system cost if they went with all in ones and different batteries, but I'm guessing they got a lot of it discounted because youtube...

@court2379 2 года назад

@@FJB2020 I think 2/3 is pushing it, maybe 25% less than what this all cost retail. The trick will be getting the current output they have here. The batteries are the single largest cost, but if they got them for around $300/KWh that is the going price right now. The panels you can definitely find cheaper in another brand. Up to 1/4 that brand's cost. The warranty won't be as good, but I don't feel that matters. In ten years if they aren't working to spec, new technology will be available that you will want anyway, so saving 1/2 to 3/4 of the panel cost now is just good sense to me. The warranty only matters for the first few years. The inverters and other equipment seems like they were pricey. There are other brands with combine functions at lower cost than the separate units for each task. As a package deal though it might not be a bad.

@FJB2020 2 года назад

@@court2379 Those SOK batteries cost $360kWh and other server rack ones are around $297kWh (or $250kWh if you source yourself) and they could have gone with 4 all in ones for less than half of what they paid for that Victron stuff.. Just saying they could have done this much cheaper and simplified their system with other gear that is on par with this setup..

@court2379 2 года назад

@@FJB2020 My numbers are a rough estimate without going and finding the exact components. I don't think this setup is the cheapest way to go either, but there are many factors going it such a selection. First we don't know what they paid, and they may have received a significant discount making this the cheapest option for them. Second their high draw conditions to run industrial equipment isn't the norm and may have dictated certain components that wouldn't be required in most setups. I don't know without studying the cheaper equivalent. Third if you don't know how to size the equipment, you are paying someone else to, which leads to additional cost. Fourth, sometimes you pay for a brand name because it is trusted to work long term. Many of these newer companies are unproven, most offer warranties that aren't worth anything either because they won't honor them, or the company won't be around in five years to make the warranty claim. Upfront cost isn't the only thing to consider. Hopefully someone reading this thread can understand what we are saying about this not being the most cost effective solution upfront for most people, and then make a decision with more information. It still might be the right system for them, but likely not the lowest cost option.

I won't be surprised if a storm with high wind speeds twists that mounting. Needs more torsional rigidity. A triangulated space frame would be lighter while being much stiffer. I'd have put a bit of gap between the panels vertically to let some wind through and no gap horizontally. Snow could catch in the horizontal gaps, making it not slide off easily, or at least building up in those two lines to partially shade the panels.

Very expensive solar setup 😊😊😊😊 amazing

Yes, thanks!

Top notch job Dexter, may l ask what value pre-charge resistor you used?!?!

@CurrentConnected Год назад

Hi Patrick! Check out the newest video that just went up, it explains how to use an incandescent light bulb as a safer alternative to a resistor. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-DOrJ5AH9yjM.html

That little array is going to have about 12,000 pounds on it per foot of snow accumulation. You might need to beef those supports up a bit.

@hithere7382 2 года назад

@Eric Yeah those things would get ripped off in Arkansas storms and I've known people from Idaho and they've seen derechos before, Idk why they did it that way. Our ground mount arrays are built to take drunk 4 wheelers and side by sides in stride plus 110 mph wind.

Looks a great system

This is a nice video as I have been watching their well presented videos and didn't know CC was working with it. I recently came across CC and they were helpful with a couple of simple emails ... these things are way out of my league but my tiny tiny system is quite a project for me ... Victron and such ... the quality, though higher funds, is wise spending. Some can be a penny wise and a pound foolish .................

Amazing system. I'm assuming this system is fully sponsored, if not what is the estimated ROI? I have a much smaller system and the ROI is terrible. I would expect to upgrade or replace MPPT chargers, Lipo's and inverters of my system before the system has paid for itself in power generation. Did y'all look at wind also?

@lotechgreg 2 года назад

Looking forward to see Real World Load tests/actual performance. ... No shade/bad mouthing, I'm all Blue/Victron, .. much smaller scale ATM. But, in the foreseeable future, I will be running , large air compressor, 200A welder, 5hp table saw,etc,etc....

What a joke. This sounds like an add and you just wrong about some of the things you said.

@CurrentConnected 2 года назад

like what?

@Scat.original Год назад

Thank you for a great detailed video, I hope to build that same setup

@CurrentConnected Год назад

Glad it was helpful! We'd love to see your build once complete!

Nice system. I have almost the exact system with dual (split-phase) 5kVa instead of 10kVa Quattro's. I hope you have better luck with the SmartSolar MPPT RS 450/100 than I have. I'm on a 2nd unit that was originally installed in April, now acting like the unit that failed. Look for random MPPT and battery charging dropouts. They improved with firmware v1.10, but haven't gone away.
