As long as brownouts are not in my future I’ll steal all your set ups lol good stuff brother keep at it

[@rmoitoza1]

the wind mill looks and works great great planning on your energy grid because with solar u get clouds to cover the sun now u got all the possibilities covered now u have lots of water coming from the gutters for u r water supply cudos on your planning

[@Billy_B_Goat]

I just got back 3weeks ago from 2 months in PI and since I grew up 25 years in Missouri and I'm now working on selling my homestead with solar and moving to PI... I thought I gotta watch this episode -- then I watched the boat episode and.... Damn it, I got another frickin PI Vlogger I got Subscribe to and now a whole bunch of vids to binge watch (I'm actually excited about the solar review). Prepare yourself for a whole bunch of stupid questions/comments to be coming your way cause I'm southern jackass mixed with midwest polite (most times). You and your clan seem like my kinda people. I hope I get the chance to meet you someday. Peace, B. Goat

[@terranceyeo3087]

good morning james and mel

Good morning - How are you today?

[@Cons2911]

It’s free energy. And it’s more than enough to power a couple of fans to cool you down. If power is down that’s a blessing

[@TexasFilipino]

but as it stores the power up it can help keep the whole house going longer on the batteries during multiple cloudy days

[@Cons2911]

I'm happy that you did this on your solar equipment again. Because I'm making my plans to get a solar system here in Cebu. I need 5 kw to do everything.

[@TexasFilipino]

what ever you need power wise you will need many times that on the panels. remember they are rated peak power in perfect conditions. Real world they will do half of that

[@WhenTheManComesAround]

The MPP all in one inverters look great 👍 I decided to go with EG4 units myself, but the MPP was my 2nd choice and i hear they are good stuff. I remember looking at the Missouri wind solutions back in the day, but decided to just go solar only. Its great to see one in action, thanks much for sharing 👍👍

[@WhenTheManComesAround]

Yeah I'm completely with ya on keeping some length on the wires. Nothing more frustrating than ending up with the wires being too short.

[@WhenTheManComesAround]

I definitely reccomended ordering some additional fuses for the combiner box. Because the fuses always tend to blow at the most inconvenient times haha.

[@TexasFilipino]

So funny you say that. I ordered in extra fuses a couple years back and have them in my tool box

[@WhenTheManComesAround]

@@TexasFilipino Excellent 👍 My combiner box has been a massive asset for me since it's enabled me to max out my voltage to my all in one inverter inputs. But I'll admit because of that increased amperage I've oversized my cables both to the combiner box from the panels and the cables from the box to the inverter. I've gone with 8 gauge all the way across haha. But it gives me piece of mind and much less worry about possible fire.

[@Phil-wu3qj]

My gosh, the view from your camera is simply breathtaking!! I’m totally in awe of your skill set and working knowledge of solar and wind power sourcing (the devil is in the detail). My question is this: Are you for hire?!?! My Filipina wife and I will be buying property and building a house there in the very near future. Thanks again for superb content and great cinema photography! Looking forward to your next video.

[@TexasFilipino]

lol - this is as for hire as I get! :)

[@garylagera7584]

I too am wondering, what James will do with his idle time once his home project can't take another screw or coat of paint? He is soo knowledgeable about most things. I too hope to buy/lease and build in Iloilo. I'm currently residing in Bicol but feel better suited for Iloilo. I hope to consult with James and his crew. I welcome to meet you so we can compare notes! James is the Philippine McGyver!

[@garylagera7584]

​@TexasFilipino I don't know how to interpret your reply. Are you NOT willing to help others in their endeavors? Has Paul and Mae visited you and Mel yet. I'm trying to keep tabs on what both of you expats are up too. I have admiration, envy and respect for the type of guys you truly are.

[@paulereeves]

I am going to try solar soon. Rather make my own power than have brownouts.

[@garyburgmylifeandtimes6354]

I plan on doing the same with my renewable energy generation, solar and wind that gives you 24/7 input no matter what the amount it's worth it. Great set up James, I'll assume in good time you will be totally off grid.

[@TexasFilipino]

We are only using grid as a backup right now. We was offgrid before then with construction and the guys being so careless with my solar panels and other equipment I had to make the choice to take most of it down until the roof was on. Now we are back off grid again and using our local power company for extra demand if guest are in the rooms using aircons and boil pots etc. As far as our daily life here in the house we are fully covered. If just one guest room going we are still covered. If I add four more batteries we will have those other demands covered.

[@TexasFilipino]

interestingly enough I have a solar water heater on the roof with a backup heating element. I very well could send the dump to that to absorb the energy.

[@walterwilliams1869]

I was wondering if you can use that dump load for hot water?

[@jennymark7403]

Just imagine with all the panels connected and maybe 2 more batteries to store power , then yes fully off grid . Your a very smart thinker and look to the future and brown outs would not interfere with your daily life , so hey 2 more batteries would seal the deal. Question. Do you return power to the grid and get payment for it too

[@zambalisticofficialtv4615]

James, good morning. I am an avid fan of yours. Your knowledge with your solar system amazes me. I would like emulate your solar system. Hope you don’t mind, if I can get the specs of your MPPT and your battery. Anyways, my province is in Luzon, Zambales. We too here have a lot of sun and wind, just like yours. Thank you for continued educational video. God bless. Steve

👍👍

[@bayareatanders]

Use panduit wireways so it will look nicer. Dont have to cut the wires just coil then in the wire way.

[@jamesdean8271]

Great share!👍🏼…do you let the turbine keep spinning all the time or only when you need it? Thanks…

[@TexasFilipino]

all the time - the controller manages it. If it needs to slow it down it puts puts resistance on the fields called braking and almost or fully stops it. If I need to work on it I can give it 100% resistance in the menu to stop the blades then let it down

[@theboggyfrutiy4336]

Is net metering available in iloilo so you can sell exess electricity in the grid.

[@stevebergh7303]

Are you planning to acquire more batteries to charge? Well done, sir.

[@TexasFilipino]

I have 800ah of lithium which is all I really need usually. more would be nice but where does the spending stop?

[@WhenTheManComesAround]

​@@TexasFilipinoIs it 800ah at 48v? But I know exactly what ya mean, I have 600ah at 48v with lithium iron phosphate & to say it was spendy is the understatement of a lifetime lol 🤣 But I'll most likely end up shipping them to the Philippines when I move there in 3 years, so it will at least come in handy beyond my time here in the states.

[@cliffyfellows38]

Nice to see all that green power. So the extra wattage, not required to top up the bats. gets “dumped”? Where does it get dumped now or do the bats only draw down what’s needed at that time? Interesting subject for me, the novice. Enjoy your new textured bananas. 🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌

[@randallbeasley646]

Just wandering, are you gonna install an Arkansas pisser on your top deck?

[@TexasFilipino]

not sure what that is but there is a restroom there already just need to finish it out

[@Whitepinoy]

unlimited Power no brownouts for you

[@michaellewis1884]

James how much of your normal daily usage for elec do you think the solar and wind will cover.

[@TexasFilipino]

It covers it all on normal days. we reply on grid just during multiple heavy cloudy days like when a low pressure sits in the area. Now with the Wind Gen we may go further on battery through those also. We know how to conserve so we can go several days as it is in those conditions.

[@ryanjones7543]

What's your thought on grid tying and earnings money with net metering selling excess power back to the grid?

[@TexasFilipino]

Our local company was not offering an actual payback just a credit with them. Now what will I do with a credit when I really don't even need them besides backup of worse case. Now in all honest I will be talking to them about that. What I want to know is if the credit can be transferred to another account. Then we could apply the credit to Melinda's moms bill. I would be interested in that.

[@ryanjones7543]

@TexasFilipino you shoukd definitely look into it further. I was told I could only get a credit also...well, what they don't mention is that after two years that you've had a credit you can request a pay out...they definitely don't want people to know that, but after research it's what I found in my state.... Let us know what you find out. Thanks James!

[@Ben-rw7wg]

Hi, be carefull with putting back on the net. Here in Europe (at least some countries), people get money for their green electricity they put on the net, but also have to pay taxes when putting excess of energy to the net. The raison is they "overload" the net. I do not see that happen really quickly in the Philippines, but whith such a quick growing economy, you never know.

[@JWDREAM-d3x]

Looking Good there Cuz 👌 i enjoyed this vedieo & even learned a little bit huh cant beat that deal lol 😊 ya that would be cool Po if you could get enough credits that it would pay Mels parents elect bill winner winner chicken dinner .

[@diyoutdoors6675]

Great setup James! I love the content. Question- At the moment, it looks like the power output from your mppt wind solar hybrid controller goes strait to the bateries to charge, in the future will you connect output from the controller strait into the inverter ( is that possible?)then the inverter will charge the batteries? Thanks!

[@TexasFilipino]

they both are chargers same difference ;)

[@MyPhilippineLife1611]

What do you do with the wind generator during high winds Typhoon etc.

[@TexasFilipino]

The controllers have a brake putting resistance on the fields causing it to slow or barely turn. If there is a straight up typhoon coming our way I will lower the win gen down by just loosening four set bolts.

How did that work out with the import tax on yalls solar ?

Does anyone on here know how to work out how many batteries I need to run a 750watt appliance. I have atm 4 x 190ah 12volt batteries and need to pick up more.

[@TexasFilipino]

190 ah lead acid does not offer near the power that lithium does. so battery type is very important. Next is what is the voltage of your inverter? 12v 24v 48v 72v? taking 12vdc to 220vac consumes more power than 48vdc to 220vac so that is another variable.
