When the sun gets low in the sky during winter, solar panel #tilt may help catch more sunshine. In this video, we experiment to see if tilting our Skoolie #Solar Panels is worth it or a waste of time.
The results of the experiment surprised us!
It's fun jumping back into Skoolie projects on our new #homestead. Being on the raw land and starting to work the land so that we have places marked our for our garden and workshop is so much fun. What's cool is that considering the Skoolie is practically done, we can stay in the Skoolie while we build a tiny house as well.

We went from building a Skoolie to starting a homestead... Life pulls us in crazy directions BUT it's better to be prepared for anything, right!? BE sure to SUBSCRIBE to our channel so you don't miss an episode! 😍 ru-vid.com

Harnessing the power of the sun, awesome job guys!!!! Can’t wait to get mine system up and running!!!

@BEAdventurePartners 2 года назад

Yeah buddy! Looking forward to the spring and summer so that we don't have to run our generator so much! These cloudy days and low sun angle in the sky definitely requires more panels than just the four we have. Looking forward to seeing your solar setup up and running! Thanks for watching! - Brian + Erin

Can't wait to see the master plan you're creating for these four acres. My first passion as a child was to be an architect or city planner. Crazy I ended up being a Disney animator. But all those are creative forms of expression:)

@BEAdventurePartners 2 года назад

We can't wait to see the master plan too! LOL! We're going at it one twig at a time. 4 Acres is a nice size to plan for! Right now, we're focusing on our immediate area. In the future we'll branch out. Thanks for watching! - Brian + Erin

You absolutely will get better production. I almost double mine by tilting 3 of my 6 panels

@BEAdventurePartners 2 года назад

So cool to hear that you got better production! It worked great for us too! However, I think we need another set of 4 panels just to keep up with winter low light. Maybe we can add some on in the future! Thanks for watching! - Brian + Erin

Lookin' good... Have you thought of putting down some concrete pads and jacking the bus up to get the tires off the ground? Now that you've got an SUV for errands...

@BEAdventurePartners 2 года назад

Absolutely @Jim Steele! You'll see in future videos what we've done so far. But ultimately jacking up the bus is on our list of things to do. Probably won't pull the wheels completely off the ground, but raise it up a bit ;) Thanks for watching! - B+E

I swear you guys are the craftiest people ive seen on youtube !! BTW in real time where are you guys at

@BEAdventurePartners 2 года назад

Whoa! That's such a nice compliment @Steven Annett! There is more craftiness coming up as we build out our homestead! We are quickly catching up with our footage to present day. This video was shot on November 4, 2021. Thanks so much for watching! - Brian + Erin

@1pilotsteve 2 года назад

remember the amount of shading looks like a voltage drop so for example covering 20% of a solar panel decreased its efficiency by at least 40% so it doesn't take much shade to render them ineffective,, Move your bus or cut the tree or ,like you said get a clear view of the sky with a supplemental array.

@BEAdventurePartners 2 года назад

Shading panels even partially does cause quite a loss in power! You'll see in a future video that we do end up moving the bus ;) Stay tuned! - Brian + Erin

@richardpatterson7158 2 года назад

Just always remember that if you go anywhere in the bus to remember to let the solar panels down would hate to see you tear them up or knock them off of the roof.

@BEAdventurePartners 2 года назад

Yes, there is a whole list of tasks we must complete before we roll and bedding the panels is on that list! Thanks for checking in to make sure we got it & thanks for watching! - Brian + Erin
