Why not a piece of that strut instead of wood.

arning: Replace your shingle roof before you install solar panels, neighbors had solar panels installed two years ago, shingle roof had to be replaced this year, it cost them $11,500.00 to have the solar panels removed and installed again....

I have 2 of these solar generators . I keep them charged and runs my whole house !

What happened to your site?

With only a 2X surge capacity and no iron core, copper wound output transformer, the lightweight high frequency inverters like the one your pitching are not commercial grade. Commercial grade inverters are low frequency transformer based inverters that provide at least a 3X surge capacity and at a 5kW power rating, would weigh at least 70 lbs.

you skipped how you screwed the second solar panel in... you have arms that are 5ft long to reach in there?

does not keep water out.

How much does it cost I bet 10 to 15 grand it looks awesome so far but all that for one small battery ? Send me the spec on my comment thanks 😀

I've got 4 panels I plan to install on a roof but I would not be using wood as spacers, I'm not sure how much of the info in this video I will use but one thing is for sure, I would get some composite deck planks or PVC trim pieces instead of wood planks (even if pressure treated)....so they'd last forever not rot out.

WHY do people keep calling these units "Generators " ?? They do not create electricity, they just store it. Solar Panels convert Sunlight to Electricity i.e one form of energy into another. Much like a Hydro Electric dam where fast flowing water spins turbines that create/generate an electrical field that gets sent out to the regional and national grid etc. Goal Zeros, Jackerys etc do not "generate" electricity.

I do not like the idea of using wood for the blocking under the rails. Why not use a block made from a composite material? This way you know you will never have an issue with rotting.

Great video. I now realize I want to be a solar panel bowling ball test pilot!

Wood on galvanized metal will rot the treated wood may cause the galvanized metal rot each other,chemical reaction. Good luck !

Unistrut will rust eventually and is a lightning rod DANGER LIVING !

God bless you. This is God's work

sweet package - way to go

Hough, over the edge of the top of the roof...bright 🤣

I bet that takes a week to charge?

You should put a link to your website in the description.

You guys have come a long way from your first systems. What does this cost to purchase and have delivered, about $20k?

How flammable is the wood panel that all your electronics are mounted to?

Thank you. This is the best DIY install video I've seen.

any advice on how to remove the rust stains from the shingles, down the road? :)

parts list please!!!

Thank you for the interesting video. Why didn't you cut that block of wood into a triangle shape to shed water?

that rail channel,or unistrut is too expensive,i just used 1.5x1.5 angle iron; tiled roof.

What are the metal squares under shingle?

Wonderful

I've got one of your older 5300 setups. It's been taken apart and moved a couple times (had it installed in my pickup), I wondered if you'd be able to put it back in a wagon and box etc for me?

At a minimum you will need to be able to service, repair, replace, salvage. Nice video.

your generator generates dick ..get yourself honda.

DIY racking needs a recognized engineers stamp in my county, do your research to be compliant folks.

God bless you Sir

Thank you for showing a very inexpensive way to do the installation.

Uh, they make spring nuts and large washers to hold down the panels for that superstrut. Simply snap the spring loaded nut into slot, and screw down the panel. No drilling required.

Buddy - The whole point of using unistrut is the ability of using unistrut brackets to screw it to the rail....no?

I noticed the top edge of the panels were exposed to the wind without the protection of the roof. That doesn’t seem like a great idea. I agree with a few other comments about using a cone washer, a flat washer and bolt to secure the panels to the uninstrut. The cone washer is inserted into the unistrut slot, the panel goes on next and then run the bolt through the flat washer (or a unistrut square washer) and on top of the panel into the cone washer in the slot. 3/8” x 3 or 3-1/2” bolts work perfectly. The bolt length has to be the thickness of the panel + the thickness of the washer used on top + the depth of the cone washer. Do not over-torque the bolts. I have used this method in south Louisiana (hurricane country) with success. The bolts are also a natural spacer between panels which allows them to dissipate heat. Using the bolts to secure the panels is much quicker as well. Space the bottom unistrut bracket where you can use a small angle bracket (this is sold wherever you find unistrut) bolted to the unistrut on the bottom edge as a stop to keep the panels from sliding.

Total Solar Tech. : I never heard of You Guy's before ! You're. not very good at answering questions ! A lot of questions about how much $ , but I didn't see any answers ! 300 pure s.w. dosent seem like very much to Me .

As soon as he said modified sine wave, I had to go elsewhere.the year is 2021, there is no excuse for having a modified sine wave inverter. Your inverter should be pure sine wave sir.

I will never find a stud😔

How many cycles can we expect?

The combination of galvanized steel of the angle bracket and the aluminum of the panel could eventually lead to galvanic corrosion of the aluminum. Did you notice any corrosion on your 20 year old system? (It is more likely to be a problem in wet, humid environments than Wyoming, especially near the ocean, where you get salt mist.)

Whatever you do, be sure to leave room for expansion between the panels! Don't tighten the connectors so much that the panels can't move. I like that he uses a clamping mount instead of drilling into the panel. The panel temperature can be anywhere from -30F at night to +150F (or more), and this causes contraction and expansion both length and width of the panel.

junk where are u at its 2020!!!

Problem with the bolts -> ground. If one of your wires goes bare ... the entire system is energized to ground making a nice hefty shock ... #UseCertifiedTechnicians

fun times ...

Great to see that Avasva has new instructions to save my money and energy to build it.

How much for rv6000???

How much

Hi my name is Paul and I really like your solar max is there more information I can go to the unit that you displayed on your video, I am interested in the exact same unit what would the cost be. Thank you
