Todd (from Project Farm) is the man!

After 5 years, the system is not worth putting back on. Let that sink in.

Amazon sells hole punch tool kits for 50 bucks

No rebar?

And they even kept it clean for the youtube :-)

I just came across this video to see how others were routing their installs. I like the idea of wire ways but take up a lot of space. Also, don't you need to make sure there is 6" below inverter to not impeding air flow for cooling?

How much do you charge for this job? Thank you

When i was doing solar i took pride in making sure if i was putting a hole in a roof it hit its mark andnwas sealed properly..... The amount of new hires that knew nothing........ Should not have been putting holes in roofs

For most of the US solar is NOT a smart or good choice!

Great idea... I want to use with battery backup rather than generator and I like the idea if not having to mess with the meter... Can I I use an ATS instead of the manual switch? Can you please recommend an automatic transfer switch?

How do you get pricing? I have filled out the forms on sinclair website for a 2x9 array and no response. I emailed them and no response. Are they still in business or just crappy service?

Considering that solar panels installed through your roof, void most roof warranties.

Seems like you could do it in the opposite order, mount the solark and then put the wireway under it. Would that be easier to match up the holes?

Awesome, do you if I mention your channel and show these on my next video?

Something about putting holes in my shingle roof never sounded right to me.

You used the original panel as a raceway with conductors passing through it which violates the NEC

Thanks for the video. What’s that box on the right side of the pull box? Just a 120 outlet or something?

My house has solar but the difference is that my house gets sun from sunrise to sunset and it was installed to code by a licensed electrician and inspected by the city and power company also used proper equipment and it was installed after the roof was replaced

Solar is a total scam. It is way cheaper to use the grid! You have to be a rich virtue signaling idiot to install solar PVs...

I sent you an email

👍

Nice and level. Great work!!

Bummer, I can't find any of those "SnapNRack Metal Roof Bases" anywhere...

I got a question regarding older trace sw2024 I have a fault it says inverter breaker tripped I get no 120 power to the cabin ?

It is worth the pain folks, you got to find the right people to do this kind of stuff. I supervised my system installs and it has been working fine for almost 10 years. Then again I live in TX so lot's of sun, but I was paying 200 bucks a month in summer months, now the highest is around 20 with a max of 30 bucks for the next 25 years, lowest in the rest of the year is 12-15 bucks, I also installed my own system, as a backup during power outages, works like a charm, and while others go without, I'm making coffee and running my mini splits. Do you home work and question everything. Good video, hope people start doing their homework before pulling the trigger, specially on big purchases.

I would argue that the application of “whatever manufacturer approved caulk” is not the way to apply it! Additionally the most effective way to fasten the bracketS would be to use a a Pilot bit, establish the sized need to penetrate roofing only without damaging the purlins (drilling into them) Make depth jig with block of wood easy)!!! Before placing bracket inject a small amount of sealer in drilled holes that’s “manufacturer compatible” with the rubber gasket. Use a drill bit smaller than the overall diameter of the structural fasteners “non self tapper stainless or galvanized course thread wood bolts” long enough to penetrate purlins! Look at me POS Hawaiian Cottage shorts! No solar yet but getting there! drill bit and physically removing it to make certain there are NO metal barbs that will make the warranty and rubber seal void! Not trying to blast on your parade just trying to help sorry if my words was jumbled up and what not even though I’m living here in Hawaii I’m from Appalachia and I got me a brain 🧠 injury

Awesome helpful video Johnny, so with a Sinclair ground mount you don't have to run a ground wire from each solar panel to the junction box?

Details, details nobody else ever does details like you!

You skipped the part where you worked the box, you just showed it done

4:10min. Galvanized part must not be connected with a copper wire.. maybe that clamp is from a copper or stainless steel?

Awesome thanks for sharing

Thanks Johnny. Perfect. Question, You mentioned that your posts are driven. My posts are set in concrete. Does this still work in that case?

The possibility of a lightening ground strike radiating up 1 ground source a riding throughout a system and out the other grounding electrode source is frightening. I feel better with only the two ground rods at the house which are bonded together underground. Then just bond all metal parts together. The Sinclair being galvanized I wonder how insulated it is in the ground? Yes I watch too much Mike Holt.

Better hit a roof rafter and get it tight.. wind rain snow and things move .water does go up hill if leaves block path.

commercial solar farms clean the panels regularly to keep output high. Read about them. You going up on your roof?

Funny one, my friend asked me what i thought about solar on his roof.. i asked how old is your roof. he did not get it.. If its older it will fail before solar does. so who removes and reinstalles panels.. Duh..

Hi John, what are your thoughts on the Eg4 12k solar ac/heat pump and dedicated panels? You helped me with my 12k solar, ground mount and ARK batteries in Malta, Oh.

What was the cost of the ground mount you installed? I was thinking of building one from PT lumber for 18 370w panels 2 rows of 9.

Good work. I finally got mine mounted and wired. About 90 days later I dig through my DC feedline. I have fun. I made a vid of youre ever bored. But thanks for the recommendation on the Sinclair. It's the best darned ground mount.

Always a pleasure!

HEY GREAT GROUND MOUNT INSTRUCTION VIDEO JOHNNY & ANTONIO! THANKS 🙏

More valuable solar info..!

Large ferrules for the Polaris connectors is a good idea to keep movement to a minimum

LIKE THE LYRICS FOR THE SYSTEM . MAY THE SOLAR BE WITH YOU .

Nice job!

That's basically what i did in in my install. No need for a neutral that big for 99.9% of people though which is making it more difficult than necessary.

Now ya tell me!! :)

I haven’t installed one of these yet. But I can imagine that would frustrate me to no end. Thanks for the video.

JOHNNY IT HAS BEEN A WHILE, NEVERTHELESS THANKS FOR THE WIRING TIP.
