Do not be naive; Tremendous amount of mining minerals is needed for those batteries & some significant amount of minerals is needed in the production of those solar panels. Lithium, Graphite, aluminum, nickel. Even lead probably. There is a saying -" If you cannot plant it, you have to mine it". At the end of the lifecycle of those batteries and panels, they also have to be discarded properly.

Engr Slater, if your bill was averaging 20k/mo and you had no electricity during brownouts in the past (thus, exluded in your bill), your power during brownouts provided by your current solar set up is actually a huge gain already. If you would compute it, your ROI will be reached in less than 8 years. Im sure it would be all worth it. The fact na you would have available power even during brownouts lalo na during typhoon… WOW! What a BLESSING it would be to enjoy the comfort of available electricity during those times. Lalo na you have kids… THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS. THIS IS A GOOD ONE.

[@benjaminjr.magisab.1976]

Thanks for the solar power system education Mr. Slater Young. How about if you source a running water stream near by, maybe you could also try using hydro power off grid type source of electricity, the mechanism to be used should be safe from wood and other debri. It's a windmill type device run by water flow to generate electricity. Or how about trying a small windmill device just powered by the wind blow, I know its also used in Europe and America as a good source of clean power not to affect the environment. Those are all my suggestion my good man. Anyway, God be with you and bless you and your family... as you bless others with your knowledge through You Tube! 🙌🤗👍👨‍👩‍👦🙏

It only powers our 10 bulbs, Internet Modem and for Phone Charging, operating it from 7pm to 5am. Our VECO Bill before was around P1,500+ (1Ref, 1TV, 4Fans, 1Washing Machine, 1Computer and a Laptop) then after using our solar setup we are billing around P900 to P1,000 (during daytime we try to charge phones/laptop/powerbanks on solar).

Excellent video as always. One thing concerning net metering. If your primary objective for installing a solar system is to have battery power during brownout, I am under the impression that you cannot be connected to the grid for safety reasons, including net metering. Can you comment on this Slater?

[@Thigsy]

He mentioned the auto switcher when he was showing the back part of the electrics... It automatically switches battery mode when the utility power is down hence no net metering.

Hi Slater. Awesome and very informative video. Need to ask, in times of typhoon, debris and at times trunk of trees and other objects may slam these panels. Need to know how sturdy are they and what if it breaks? Will the warranty of ten years include it? Are the batteries readily available? Considering the constant technology improvements, should your installed panel and setup be the norm still at the time you need to change batteries? Just some queries I am having, hope u would answer please. Thanks and more power to your channel. God Bless

[@jammorada9708]

Very informative content. Nahighlight din nito yung main concern with a typical hybrid solar power system which is systems COST. Yung ROI na naconsider lang dito is very linear which I suppose is assuming na hindi nagbabago ung cost/kWh from distributors. Pero as we all know, lagi tumataas kuryente, kaya the ROI can significantly improve pa. Para siguro hindi madiscourage yung mga gusto magpa-install because of cost, pwede mag start muna as grid tie solar power system(no batteries) then use hybrid inverters na agad(this is preparation if magkabudget na for batteries). Batteries typically costs almost 30-50% of the overall setup. Depende na ito sa standby load and mga appliances na gusto mo mapatakbo during a brownout. It will all depend on the knowledge/competence of your installer so do due diligence with your installers pa din.

[@nelcaps1649]

The perfect setup for me is Hybrid - Grid Tied with just sufficient battery capacity to run the essentials during “lengthy” power failures plus a GenSet…. The focus of such a setup is to offset night time use of ACs with excess production fed back to the grid by day even with some ACS on. Unless a newer chemistry of LiION or LIPhos batteries are developed (that will last at least 10 years or 20K charge/discharge cycles - ROI will never ever be attractive for a full battery backed Solar Setup

Would like to ask if your family has ever experienced a brown/black out with the solar set up and how the transition was? Specifically at night if the house is being supplemented by the grid, are there electrical surges? Does the electricity close down for a few mins then comes back up? Or is it just a flickering in lights? Or do you not notice it at all? Also, if you have ever experienced using your generator along with or after using up the solar set up, what was that process like transitioning from solar power to generator power? :)

Hi Slater! Just wanna ask the ROI when it comes to just using the solar panels alone? W/o the battery powered system

[@franciscofletes1948]

The most economical set up is grid tied without batteries. I have a grid tied 8kw system that cut my meralco bill from 20k per month to 4-5k per month. I have a stand by 20kva diesel generator for black outs and it runs all my appliances my entire load not just essentials. The cost of the solar was 410k and the cost of the generator was 370k, so it’s 780k not 2 million. So my ROI will be 4 years and 4 months not 10 years. Plus he’s not taking into account the added cost of replacing the batteries in 5-10 years. The battery technology right not doesn’t support that investment financially. Maybe In the future it will but right now you’re better off with a generator for back up during brown outs with ATS. The only reason to get a battery system in Philippines now is for the “green benefits “ to the planet. Not for ROI or economic benefits because financially it doesn’t make much sense with current technology

[@bryanfuentes1452]

@@franciscofletes1948 I heard from some people saying that power companies do not pay your excess power from your solar setup even if it is exported to their grid. So Im guessing that you were only able to cut your bill because you're using solar in daytime then grid power at night?

[@franciscofletes1948]

@@bryanfuentes1452 net metering is a process whereby you export excess electricity to the grid and sell it back to meralco. It’s a long process, meralco needs to install a second meter and they sell you electricity at 11 php per kWh but only buy it from you at 5.5 (50%) but they do buy it from you at a 50% loss. It takes about 3-4 months to have net metering approval. It’s best to hire someone to do the legwork for you because you have to go to your barangay city hall multiple times and meralco so I just paid my solar installer to do it. But I consume most of what my home produces I export very little to the grid. Net metering is great when I travel and the house is unoccupied but when we’re home it doesn’t come into play much.

It's a hybrid photovoltaic system consisting of grid tied and off grid system / battery storage. During day time using less grid electricity and during night or cloudy days electricity using is on battery storage. I think more than 10 - 12 yrs is the ROI if you include the operational expenses in the future. Repair and maintenance such as replacement of battery and accessories. The battery has a life span for replacement let say 3-5 yrs or it depends on the battery deep cycle charge and discharge. Yan na rin trend now a days renewable energy.

Hello, this caught my attention & maybe I can help with your question. Actually there are 2 types of electricity being produced, AC (alternating current) & DC (direct current) and they are 2 different things when supplied. In your question, batteries are supplied with DC & gensets produce AC so they have different type. Yes, it's possible but not efficient with additional converter (converting AC to DC) to the system. Since you'll be using it to power up appliances which is AC supplied, maybe it would be better if directly na lang siya sa appliances. Hope that I somehow helped 😁

Black out is different from brown out. Black out means large area experienced total power outage due to transmission fault. As in wala po tayong pagkukunan ng power. Brown out means nawalan ng kuryente sa isang place pero merong power. Ai brown out dito sa Pasig. Pero meron sa Manila. Ai Black out sa Luzon , nagkulang ang tubig ng mga dam :)

This was the first time I knew about Slater. I never knew this guy until I saw this on YT. I heard a lot about you being a nice guy. But you are actually cool and intelligent content creator.

[@dlanod4073]

This is very informative.. I like it that he didnt hesitate to diviulge the costing of everything, before and after the installation. I like this so much. I love all of your contents. Waiting for more.

[@jhonlibuna1348]

ang pinaka benefit ng ganitong set up eh yung hindi na sasakit ulo mo every month kung bakit ang taas taas ng bill nyo 😅 kung may budget ka lang naman eh why not diba kung makakatakas ka kahit papano sa ganung problema. congrats po

[@jaypeeparaiso4667]

Ayos na pala ulit skypod. Last time i saw the my was a wreck. Tagal na ata noon. My malaking sanga sa bubong..

[@rzm17]

Just wanna say na grabe this was well-planned. Sobrang galing! 🎉🎊

[@bernardpar1042]

10yrs bago mabawi then kung tumagal ng 15yrs means you save 5yrs sa bills mo not bad. also for that kind of set-up 100% never mawawalan ng ilaw sa bahay nyo haha. pero kung solar set up lang laking tipid talaga without the batteries. (eco-friendly) solid and the best content!

[@giyan95]

Wow! Thank you for this. My dad and I was thinking of putting solar power kasabay sa renovation ng bahay and the costing and ROI was really helpful.

[@vidadulay3620]

I like it! I'm a fan now. Thanks Slater for proposing and dumbing down clean energy!

Great and honest video. 8 years breakeven will be reduced if net metering is implemented. The on-grid system will just act as an extended battery as you are depositing excess power to the grid for later use so there could be no need to extensively upgrade batteries since you can sift power from the grid that owes you power when you need it. It is now a matter of economic analysis whether additional battery upgrade cost justifies the power credits you get from on-grid utilities. It is safe to say that given the net metering option, power consumption is almost free after 8 years at most even if you include maintenance and upgrade of accessories like batteries (at least 5 years) and solar panels (at least 10 years).

[@cielomonares3842]

PV is a very good investment, I'm working in a solar company in US at yes mas worth it tlga pag naka net metering ka, mas maganda mag invest sa ganito, kaysa bumili ng luxury bags or cars, this is a worth watching.

[@louisferiestrella5532]

Salamat sa explain engr hehe my sasagot na ako sa interview. Na aapplyan ko 😊 ganda kasi explain mo simple nakaka gets agad ako.

[@zodiacfml]

17:26 ask your contractor or another to add more batteries using other brands. if the batteries get filled at 11am then it means the battery capacity is undersized vs solar panels. magagamit mo naman yung extra battery capacity when you turn on the air-con during the night

[@clangtv3330]

Grabe ni check ko yung price ng battery if ganyan 3 set up na batt. 1,344,000, so ano 5 years ROI yun and you still 5 years life span ng batt mo.. all in all sulit parin kesa koryente ang gagagmitin mo… pangarap ko yan noon pa man. Manifesting i will gonna have that set up in the future. Thank you daddy slater for every informative video.. tagal ko ng wait to eh.

[@markchua7149]

Thanks for this very informative and detailed explanation 👍🏻 I'm also inspired to put this kind of solar power set up once I have my dream house. 🙏🏻

[@ghebau19]

Mapapa UWU! ka na lang talaga at mapapa wow! Kapag ganiyan. 😊

[@lilithsuccubus1691]

Sobrang informative ng mga contents. Super worthy isubscribe. Hindi lang yung content creator yung matalino, pati mga followers. Nakakatuwa manood ng videos mo and magbasa ng mga comments for additional info :)

[@ver9210]

galing. napakalaking tipid nito sa kuryente walang montly bill sana ol affordable ang solar panel ang bawat bahay. god bless po.keep safe!

[@vincenzomagallen]

Wow! Ang ganda nung ceiling fan. May pagka minimalist din. Bagay.

[@imartyficationv.276]

After going solar you tweak your appliances usage. You should compare your grid electric bill with old way of your consumption vs running solar with old way consumption to see your actual ROI.

[@religionbuster7180]

very well explained. wish you could also show us factors you considered when choosing brand of all components. thank you for your video

[@mickamau3373]

Salamat Engr for the honest reveal. Am really yearning or leaning towards solar panel but still saving what suits us.

[@randomalias5]

Your photovoltaic system is not low maintenance if you want it to last long and especially in a weather like the Philippines. It’s not just cleaning. You have to check every part of the system regularly. And my guess is that the zip ties are going to break first. The white ones are not for direct sunlight or even outside conditions and the black ones last much longer in outside conditions but just if they are high quality. So the zip ties are going to come off and then the cables are lose and going to move around what makes them brittle after some time.

Awesome!!! I live in USA , just moved to Texas from NY 4 years ago. We recently bought a land and we are thinking of living off the grid. I would like to know what brand of solar system you will recommend and the set-up and not sure if we have Panasonic Fan here in USA , I have to google it. I do actually like the style of your home very simple . The video is so helpful for me to have better understanding, Thank You. I'm a big fan of you and your wife's vlog.

[@teddyaribisala4372]

Slater: Thank you for your simple, indepth, but discerable presentation, about good options. I am curious about hiw you keep the solar panel, from cracking, when it rains, especially if you have hailstorm.

[@barnybaranjc]

This solar set up is a really good investment. Specially on areas that has frequent brownouts.

[@olimarandal1625]

Mag add ka pa ng bateries and panels hindi pa pala 0 ang bill mo sa grid. Much better enroll mo talaga ng net metering yan.

[@MarTvOfficial]

sana lahat na ng cooperative electricity provider aaproved sa net metering,, feeling kasi nila malulugi negosyo nila at di nila pinopromote ng maigi ang solar usage.. lalo na kung grid tied yung set up... malalabo kausap.
