This is a great overhaul. I put YT on 2X to really get U moving along, and turned the sound down to 10% during your speedup. That music needs to be at about 10% of the speaking volume. I love your clean work with the wiring trough and layout of the components.

Discovered your channel when searching for reviews on PIP Controllers a few months back, and instantly subscribed. At that time I was also searching for reviews on Sol-Ark, so to find you now have moved to Solark yourself, and even better, are putting up projects where you're upgrading old systems with Sol-Ark, is superb and helpful info from my perspective. Your content is some of the best I've found on the topic, the detail you provide, and your messaging style is really easy to follow (you are a great educator). I also appreciate the fact that you're an electrician and not a trained video editor, so I don't expect perfection on the video editing side, but you are certainly getting better at it! To me it's all about the content, and that, you've certainly got with heaps of credibility. So keep doing what you're doing! As for future content, the more projects you can profile the better - both new installs and retrofits, would be my request. It appears you work for a solar install company, so it may be tricky to show projects they've sold and that you're installing, but hey, your channel is going to grow, and if you give Green Mountain Solar regular "shout outs" along the way, that's great free advertising for them I would think. Wishing you all the best with your channel!

Thanks for sharing. Clean install. A huge upgrade from the 75w panels..! Also just a suggestion to do an 'open' cover review post install in future videos. For example I'd love to see how you did the buss bar setup in the wireway etc.. Thanks!

Great clean set-up Ben. Amazing some of the holes that installers have to crawl into. Good thing the owner removed the old batteries and set-up. One question, I saw you open the top panel on the Sol-Ark and was wondering what you did it for? Keep these coming as they will be drawing viewers to your channel once more searches on Sol-Ark's are done down the road. This was a very good video presentation.

Thanks Craig. I heard something rattling around in there when we were carrying it in. Turned out to be an extra screw that I didn't see in the bottom compartment.

What voltage are you running on the pannels and what did the material cost for the system.

Voltage is around 405 Voc. Not sure on material cost.

What buss bar set up are you using in gutter. 4/0 or 2/0 for batteries
@benssolarandbattery
@benssolarandbattery 3 года назад
4"x12"x1/4" copper with standoffs. 4awg to each battery, 4/0 into the Sol-Ark.

Curious of you used the Generator In to connect the Generator or if you used a different method.
@benssolarandbattery
@benssolarandbattery 2 года назад
We used the grid input, which is recommended for offgrid installs. The gen input is now used as a smart load output during the summer when there's excess PV production.
