solid video. i am here currently in Sri Lanka with the same idea and mindset of what you shared in the video. If only i could show you the electrical system here and how it looks like compared to say Australia which is what i am use to you. Your video came in as a suggestion and i am glad to have tuned in. I will be looking to upgrade the system here in Sri Lanka to 3 pharse . And literally its all being redone. It sure does make you realize how good we have it.

Honest question: how common are grid outages in the UK? I understand wanting to save money and wanting renewables and all that, but so often the discussions of off-grid anything focus on the “so if there’s a power cut…” argument. Is that a big, pervasive worry for a normal home? Being able to weather a power cut just seems like a bonus to me, not the main reason to off-grid. But so often it sounds like that’s the _entire_ reason for these setups as though the UK power grid is just constantly falling over for days on end. On a scale of Scandinavia to the Bronze Age Collapse, how bad are things over there that it’s such a concern?

@@corymac 😕 Sad to hear. Was hoping it was still more of a “just in case” thing, but the effort you went through of splitting up the power distribution did make it seem like a more pressing concern. Regardless, very nice setup. And congrats on the house! Hope things have settled down, and you’ve been able to put your feet up a bit more

Very beautiful and inspiring, I'm glad this got recommended! I'm not a trained electrician, just a music guy who is learning to repair and build equipment. One of my jobs is repairing organs and keyboards. The usual thing here in the west is to turf out equipment once its no longer "economically viable" to repair. Yet many of the organs from the 50s, 60s and 70s I've had to scrap over the years were totally fixable - or at the very least contained valuable parts one could use to construct something cool with. One thing I noticed though is there is an inverse relationship between musicians degree of obsession with shiny new things and the authenticity of their music. That is to say, the more people that tend to lust after the latest gear the worse their music is and the less happy / fulfilled they seem to get.

Seeing value through the lense of currency. It's a very un African thing. They are not 'struggling ', they are just content with the status quo. They value family and friends more than windows and plastic toys that are not really needed. I am culturally half European and half African. Europeans should look at the peace in the hearts of Africans with envy. Africans are bad capitalists because they don't have the anxious drive to gain resources that Europeans do. And that is a GOOD thing. If Africans were like Europeans, Africa would have the same loss of species that Europe has. The same massive energy demand. The much higher rates of mental illness. Yes they would life longer and die less but at what cost?

ROIGHT! Great Job, mate! I am a Yank in Schaghticoke New York, USA, but love British stuff! A bit different equipment but same basic installation as ours! I know phase rotation. Very important. I have worked, sometimes live, on 480 volts or even 600 volts and it is scary! Will arc like a 2400 volt primary! But I did it hot and am still here because I made sure I was never part of a complete circuit! One phase to neutral on 480 is 277 and one leg of 600, used more in Canada but some here, is 347 volts. Dangerous stuff! Cheers! 👍🏻😋

The wiring is cool. Not bad all. I am an electrician and my dad demolished buildings which much of anything I wired (to code!) in the high bay garage we salvaged after it needed to be demolished, we actually deducted the value of the building from what we bid to remove it because it was worth it. 20 plus years later we had a major fire in it, I rewired it, re using anything not fire damaged and even rebuilt 4 out if the original 8 1973 vintage ABOLOITE 400 watt mercury vapor high bay fixtures, the ballasts were still good, oil filled capacitors vented and were ruined, I used some new old stock ones rescued from a scrap yard, and some used ones from parted out fixtures too broken up to be saved. They work great! I supplemented these with 1920’s to 1930’s green porcelain enameled RLM dome industrial incandescent fixtures I freshened up and put cheap but good quality Walmart brand 3000 watt equivalent LED 2700 K warm white bulbs, fed on 1957 vintage 12/4 armored cable, and this is just a sample. Resurrected a GE panel that got ran over by a skid steer, straightened it up, painted it, breakers were still fine, it works great! So saying these folks are proud of what they have really is much like me! Good stuff! Subbed and liked! 👍🏻😋

Very interesting to see the differences between the US and UK installs. Being an expat from the UK, the US way does seem a lot different, and I'm not sure which I actually prefer, especially when it comes to the way which grounding is treated. For the most part homes here are closest to a TT system (not quite, but close), which for a solar+storage makes it a lot less "complex" with no active PEN fault detection or similar needed. However with the amperages that are in use in most American homes, and the reduced voltage per part of the phase, it makes the cable runs quite large. In my case I have 4x PW3's - one is the leader, the rest followers, but all are wired into a CU. The CU is something in the region of 45cm x 90cm x 15cm, and has a 60A breaker for each power walls, a 'main' breaker at 200A, and a breaker for the Enphase AC Coupled solar (I think 80A?). The Enphase goes off to the combiner, the main breaker goes over to a cut off big-ol switch. That then goes off to the gateway, where the main feed is connected to, as is the house, and the feed from the renewable / storage main breaker. It takes up most of the side of the house, and the cables are ... not small. With it being a 200A circuit, and there needing to be 2x 200A legs (as most homes are Split phase, L1Low, Neutral, L1High - where if neutral is 0V, L1H is +120, L1L is -120) and then a neutral + earth. I think, if memory serves me right, the cable for the main feed, and the feed in/out of the house is 4/0+4/0+2/0+0 AWG which is 2x 120mm2, 67.5mm2 and 54mm2. Each power wall has a slightly smaller cable, I think 25/25/25/16mm2. If it is of interest, I'd be happy to send photos so you can have a look at a US install
