Installing Conduit and Wire to Roof Mounted Solar Panels

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks for sharing with us Evan, you do a great job explaining things and making them easier to understand. Sure helps when considering Solar. Stay safe and keep up the great work around there. Fred.

I admire greatly your skill when it comes to all the solar system components. The OCD in me loves the neatness! The self efficiency of your farmstead is amazing. No power for us means no water as we are on a well. No water means no toilets working during outages. You wouldn’t have that problem. I liked your “plug in gas generator” before you got all your solar and battery systems. Now you have given me more to be envious about! (Just kidding). Thanks for sharing!

❤❤VIDEO ❤❤ great episode, it took me back to the days I used to do electrical construction ❤ that’s the type of pipe threader I used to use❤I always used my linesman pliers (Klein)❤to rim it out ❤I used my finger to feel if it has bur❤ go nice and slow and it will cut you if you don’t pay attention ❤i always appreciate a fellow brother that takes time to teach❤have a blessed day ❤❤

Evan, I am looking forward to your year-end summary and 2025 outlook. 👍

[@terrycastor8299]

You make it look so easy, Evan. It ain’t. Lol. Been there, done that. But having all correct tools makes a world of difference for certain. Excellent work.

[@deannaoverstreet4146]

Thanks Evan! Always enjoy your channel!

[@SoluSolaire]

Great work ! In the box under solar panel it’s a good practice to separate negative and positive wires in dim rail to avoid shorts ! Cheers

[@chartlook1]

My goodness, you certainly have all the tools required. We had most of them in our Electrical/Instrument shop but not in my garage lol. Another great info video..

[@DwightMitchell-zi9uk]

Thank you for the update. Looks great

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

this video series is fun to watch. You're a good teacher.

[@juliannedispain1637]

Thank you for these videos. I have learned a lot from this channel.

[@danadevost5875]

Great video, enjoyed watching, your work and explanations are amazing.

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

Looks great Evan, cannot say enough about using sealant and seals to keep out water out of the conduits, etc.

Hi... Thanks you for sharing your video 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍

[@travelerdirk7923]

Hello Evan, your videos are a blessing to us DYIers. I have a request and a question for you; please make a video on how your system works between the barn & house on, how you pull power from one to the other depending on the needs of each system. Also you pulled wire from your barn to the house on another video, what size wire did you use? I'm in the process of building my barn & want to build a solar system much like yours. I built a small 940 watt system for our travel trailer 5 years ago & it works fantastic. So we're just wanting to build a backup system & maybe replace 80% of our house power consumption, along with power to the barn when needed & lights for it.

[@bay9876]

It was only a matter of time where the electrical manufactures would come out with specs needed to wire up solar power system. High DC amperage not AC with the same heat/amperage conciderations. Lots to learn.

[@stenandersen4696]

👍👍👍👍👍as always great video

[@exploitthechildless1510]

Solid Video. Love to see some performance data, especially broken down as to how much your house utilizes, your workshop, and your barn(s). Thanks for including the 2017 National Electric Code data. I'm guessing your county is not using the updated 2023 NEC?

[@DonnieThomas-m2y]

Great job! The roof on my house is corrugated as well and I’m terrified to install panels on it

[@jamesschaffhausen4466]

Hey Evan another Great solar panel video. My question is ? The final result is no outside electricity needed. Self contain on the homestead ? Wow 😮❤🚫⚡️⚡️💰💰👀😎👍😬

[@cchambers8632]

Are the bank barn and the barn with the squeeze shoot on grid power? Are the five arrays just for the shop and the house? How big of a battery bank are you going to have? What is the maximum kilowatts you need each day?

[@CountryViewSolar-DIYProjects]

The barns are on grid power. The 5 arrays will total 18940 watts. They are all for the house and workshop. Right now the house has 34.3 kWhours of battery. The workshop has 24.3 kWhours of battery. The house will probably get more batteries in the future. We use around 50 to 60 kWhours in a day on average,

[@richardflowers8073]

Good video

[@GopherWoodshop]

Excellent video, "Country view power company"?

[@billrotundo7814]

Question: Do you need a bushing at the box on the roof?

[@CountryViewSolar-DIYProjects]

Because we are using a Myers hub (conduit fitting) with 6 gauge or smaller wire. Threaded bushing isn't required. 4 gauge and larger wire it would be required with a conduit fitting. If it was a rigid conduit threads directly into the enclosure without using a conduit fitting, a bushing would be required everytime.

Hi guys!

[@ian_marshall_cofa]

hmm, not sure about putting a terminal box under pv’s…

[@coyroberts8356]

Hi😊

ruff 😂

[@djastram]

Instead of selling your surplus energy back to the utility, have you considered getting a few crypto miners?

[@CountryViewSolar-DIYProjects]

no, not interested in that.

[@jetman258]

Slow down you didn't have to go so far into detail of wire specs. They are easily accessible.

[@CountryViewSolar-DIYProjects]

I show the specs, so people can look up the code and do there own research.
