I was hoping for a bank update soon. This delivered. Whilst each bank was cheap I imagine the cost of the supporting hardware was not. Good video Ludwig.

The total cost for absolutely everything involved in this (wiring, batteries, inverter, shipping, planning, permits, solar panels, professional panel install, everything) added up to just under 10 000 €.

@@FFcossag so that's where all your thousands in youtube earnings have gone .....hur hur

[@FFcossag]

Heh, I wish. Sadly, that money came from just doing normal work.

[@ianphilip6281]

I see. 10k seems reasonable given the capability and size of it all. How does that figure compare with a non DIY version? I'm not up to date with company pricing strategies.. let alone those beyond my borders! Cheers for being open and honest along the way.

So if the power goes out, then you're the local "tesla bank" then, but without the lithium threatening to go kaboom... :P

Never again will I live in darkness like that one 8-day power outage!

@@FFcossag That was certainly quite the experience for you, and given the way the UK's going, we might not be far behind, and I'm not exactly being smug about owning three generators given people are vile petrol hoarders!!! :S

[@Soapy555]

Hang on, so all those cells cost you less than 70 euros?

[@FFcossag]

It added up to that since I traded in my old crappy battery bank at the same time to make room. I bought these for scrap price, and my old bank was surprisingly heavy, hehe.
