How does the shading from the front panels affect the rears? Looks like there’s a ~4” line of shade across the bottom.

There's no link in the description.

How much is the cost of this exact racking?

All bull s.it

I have recently come across your channel, and I find myself intrigued by your solar setup. With all the solar panels you have, you have the capability of producing over 25,000w a day. 5 kids, wow that’s awesome!!!! How much power does your family use on a daily average? With that much capability up top, it that not way to much overkill, and how much can you store with all those batteries? Newbie here just asking some questions. Thanks.

How much does that whole scha-bang weigh?

I've been designing a similar system for the last week for a cargo trailer conversion project. No need now. Do your panels tilt and track the sun automatically, or would I have to add my own linear actuators and controller? Also, the roof is 12" on center aluminum square tube with no other penetrations. No rooftop A/C unit, vents or plumbing vent stacks planned. The trailer is a 27' V-nose. 22 x 8.5 rectangle, 5' for the V.

Like the look and the idea, but watch out for hail storms!

How much is a rack like you have on yours, I have a 41’

Another negative about attaching panels directly to the roof is the lack of sufficient cooling air underneath. We have a 4,400-watt array racked 15" off the roof of our 35ft MH. This not only lets our panels run cooler, producing higher output, but we bring our own shade with us, so the interior of our home is naturally cooler, as if we're parked under a big shade tree with less heat load on our A/C units too. 4,400 watts allows us to run both our A/Cs and charge our batteries at the same time. Together with our 48v, 16.3 kwh battery we can run our 12k Btu mini split heat pump 24/7 cooling in the summer or warming us in the winter as needed, with plenty of reserve capacity too. Of course, a bigger RV has more roof space for more panels yielding equivalent results with more sq ft to heat and cool. Ours are flat mounted panels, which will produce 20-30+% less power than a liftable array, depending on season, latitude and orientation (assuming you can orient your RV so the array faces south and take the time and effort to climb on the roof and lift them, knowing you must lower them before you move). We have a smaller, 620w liftable array on the side of our MH for our 12v system which has proven this out. Under winter conditions in Yuma, when lifted to the optimal angle we observed about 35-40% more production than horizontal panels. Under these conditions our 620w array performs more like an 840-850w fixed horizontal array in terms of total daily wattage produced. The advantage of a side mounted array is that we can raise and lower it effortlessly with the help of gas struts, securing it at the optimal angle standing safely on the ground. It's much easier to clean than our roof mounted array too. I really like that you can walk your roof between the rows of panels to clean them, whereas I must clean mine using a ladder on the side - so I'm sure they don't get cleaned as often as yours do. Roof and A/C maintenance is easier on your system too. I'm on the East Coast now where the constant, heavy rain is doing an excellent job of keeping them clean. 🙄 One of the things I noticed earlier today was how well my high voltage array was doing in the rain. My 400voc horizontal array was producing 9 amps at 265 volts at about 11:00am in the pouring rain. That's 2,385 watts or 54% of their rated output in a deluge. Needless to say, I was quite surprised, and would have been happy to see 1/2 of that, considering the weather. I'm sure your sweet, modular system is much easier and faster to build than my one-off system was. If I had to do it over again, knowing what I do now, I'd definitely have given you a call. Wishing you great success. I hope you'll soon be selling so many that you'll have trouble keeping up with the demand. Take care!

That's pretty cool.

Love your system. Keep it up!

20k set up...

From past experience it takes China about three years to reduce the cost to their level.

Patients are good for about as long as it takes for China to figure out how to do it cheaper.

Do you integrate an air dam on the front of your array? I dropped the front of my first two 550w panels, so they meet the roof of my motorhome at a shallow 9.5 degree angle. When I'm driving down the highway no air gets under them, and they ease the airflow over my roof. There is now a smooth laminar airflow compared to the turbulence and drag that all the roof vents, AC shrouds, etc. used to create in stock form. Not only is it now more stable when traveling, regardless the direction of the wind, but there is less drag (contributing to better gas mileage) as well, despite my 4,400w array being mounted 15 inches off the roof. If you need to keep your panels flat so they can be lifted, unlike my fixed array, an angled aluminum air dam might serve a similar function. Plus, it's a great place to put your business name and phone number, branding your product. Just a thought. Take care, Chip.

How is the array adjusted? Manually? Electromechanical? Sun tracking?

Thumb Down ... , Sounds lke You're using FAItH , AGAINSt a Numbers

This is an excellent video....but seeing as you are a new start up channel I would suggest answering comments. You haven't answered a single comment after 3 days. Hopefully down the track people will be reading this and thinking "WTF dude, he answers every comment". Good luck with your channel buddy. :) :) :)

Very much dislike the music. Stopped watching 4 min. in.

Your wife sounds fat

Sweet. I have 4,400 watts of flat mounted solar that will run my 14.5k rooftop A/C and my 12k mini-split heat pump as well as charge my 48v battery at the same time, even in winter, as long as it's sunny. Of course, when it's cloudy I don't need to run both A/Cs. I also have a 620w liftable array on the side of my MH to charge my 560ah 12v battery too. At 67 yrs. old, I can't be climbing on my roof every time I move and when high winds come up, to lift and lower panels. It would be great if your roof array could be raised and lowered with linear actuators, by remote control, while standing safely on the ground. I saw one like that in Quartzsite this season. Did you see it? It looked like a huge sail that I'd be afraid would be damaged or even tip my RV if a strong wind came up. But that would be very expensive and another thing to fail at the worst possible time, like slide outs sometimes do. My small side array virtually lifts itself using gas struts to the correct angle to maximize production. It's easy to clean too, standing safely on the ground. My roof racked array basically gets cleaned when it rains. 😉Of course I can climb a ladder to clean it, but they aren't cleaned nearly as often as my side mounted panels. That's why I made it so big, because I knew they wouldn't be cleaned that often.

solar madness

Half the modules are heavily shaded most of a given day

Hey Thanks for the vid. I just liked and Subscribed. My son liked it as well so I assume he'll most likely subscribe soon too. ;) I hope all is well for you. :)
