Hi, I am in New York and interested in doing this in my home. Do I have it right that I’m can be used with already existing baseboard, if so that would be great.
@ericmaskell3278
@ericmaskell3278 2 күн бұрын
Yes you can as long as you have enough baseboards. Most house have more then needed. You could add some if you don’t have enough. The reason is the geothermal unit doesn’t make the water as hot as a boiler so you get less btu’s per foot.

Does the solar power all the tracker functions?
@ericmaskell3278
@ericmaskell3278 4 ай бұрын
It is powered by 240volt AC so it isn’t powered directly from the solar but is after the inverter converts the DC power from solar panels to AC 240 volt.

Off topic, but can you recommend ground level solar panels for Stinnett TX location? Great channel.
@ericmaskell3278
@ericmaskell3278 4 ай бұрын
You can use any panels you want. It depends on what your ground mount rack can take. Does it take 60 cell panels or 72 cell panels? I would use bi-facial panels if you can to get more power per square foot.

In the video, it troubled me to see the track hoe help align the mount to the pole and moves the pole in the process. Wouldn't that allow the whole solar array to possibly be unstable in the future by enlarging the hole? It kind of ruins the stability of the pole and makes the whole thing less stable when completed. I'm also curious why you use 60 and 70 watt modules instead of 140 that have higher numbers of power, isn't that the idea of generating power at the most reasonable cost?
@ericmaskell3278
@ericmaskell3278 7 ай бұрын
The pole moved because it was not tightened down yet. It gets torqued down. The hole doesn’t get enlarged it is 1/2” thick steel. There are 48 panels that are 295 watts each. For a total system output of 14,160 watts. Also the utility regulations I can’t put in more solar then 110% of the customers yearly usage. I hope this help.

Nice video Eric... The assembly jig on on the saw horses looks like a huge time and back saver. I wondered if the tracker mount would rotate (head over heels) to be able to install the other half of the panels a little easier, I was not disappointed :)

Yes it is a big time and back saver. I know it’s hard to see in video but I don’t move the array over the top to put the top of the panels on. I use a chain fall to control it because it does weigh a lot. Glad you enjoyed.

@@ericmaskell3278 I don't know a lot about dpf, but that is unrelated. Egr opening creates a rich mixture that doesn't burn completely, thus blk smoke. I also discovered the egr affects shifting in the transmission. I bad egr not opening right will make the vehicle stay in a gear. On a different subject: I have a crank sensor error. I am unable to get a ground in either of the two wires that it connects to. I am assuming one wire should be ground, no? Do you know the pins in the ecu that the wires correspond to?
