Powering our off grid Alaska Homstead | Upgrading to SUNGOLD POWER solar panels.

Anyone who’s watched our channel or any off grid channel knows, this life is nearly impossible without solar panels. We currently have three different brands of panels we’re using on three power stations. These Sungold Power panels have been amazing! We’ve had them for a few months now and I’m very happy with the quality and performance. So much so that we’ll be replacing everything with them in the future.
My mom is on grid in the lower 48 and currently looking to put together a back up solar system for outages. I didn’t hesitate to recommend these panels to her for both quality and price.

I see a lot of concern about the deck not being in this video. Don’t worry, the deck is still there and we will be showing more work on it this weekend. We intended to have this video out sooner but had lost some of the footage.

[@debjukes5548]

Did you find a temporary place to mount them after the deck went on?

[@ouralaskahomestead]

@@debjukes5548 we’re still working on the deck. Headed to Home Depot today to hopefully get the rest of the deck boards. We’ll be moving them once we start framing the roof.

[@Jennifer-hi4tp]

So happy for you, what a great upgrade for your solar setup.

[@marktonthemove]

I have Sungold panels for my system also, over a year in and very happy. Nice upgrade.

[@mariezafonte6473]

Glad the solar panels are working well for you. You were thinking of moving them. Putting them on the right side of the house would keep them out of the snow until you build a platform for them.

[@tmark6701]

I'm actually looking for solar panels for my backup system, Think i'll give these a try. Thanks.

[@suezaple4950]

Nice, Always good to have more solar good size panels. You folks are doing well setting all up around the homestead , look forward to the continuation of the deck .

[@DawnMillington-i9t]

Let there be plenty of light. Waiting to read all the comments. Great addition to the homestead. 😊

[@ouralaskahomestead]

They’ve been amazing, now we just need to get some batteries to store all that power. Gotta get the porch done first though.

[@vickievixen3785]

I'm glad that you got what you needed that's going to work for you. I think a lot of people feel the same way. To me it doesn't matter when it was posted because I don't get to choose what autoplay is next. I guess that's what happens when you're a newbie 😳

[@Cindy1121mp]

That’s great. Love you guys. You are doing a great job. I pray for you all.

[@ouralaskahomestead]

Thank you so much!

[@charleshutchings3010]

I have 10 200w 24v sungold solar panels on my first array and its been 2 years and no problem

[@petecunnien5368]

Game changer for sure

[@darienneflint9354]

Certainly a big lift to you both knowing this will hopefully help ... I guess this video before your deck.

[@Mr.knowitall-m8x]

👍🏻

[@charlenegrady8781]

Good luck with the power✌️🇺🇸

[@TheGypsyNurse_]

Thanks for the review , been looking for something for my tiny home , think I just found it . Thanks guys love your content.

[@shirleyharvey7376]

I guessed wrong! I’m sure you’ll be happy with more solar🌞

[@Forest_Actual]

I love the new house siding! LOL

[@Alaskaguitarguy]

Good ole Alaskan siding. So many houses up here with just house wrap on them mine included.

[@AlaskaMyHeart]

Well that will do just fine. ❤Very nice panels. Definitely pulling in the watts !! Great choice. Can’t wait to see it all come together. Are y’all getting snow?

[@ouralaskahomestead]

Not yet. I heard Anchorage (5hrs north) got some last week so it’s on its way.

[@Alaskaguitarguy]

Everyone on here is like where’s the deck😂. Relax people it’s obvious this was filmed before the deck was built.

[@maggiemaysgrace]

I just figured this must be the back of the house...but I did notice no deck. And I don't remember a full glass door on the front.

[@WîlliamWard-w6z]

I looked up the Latitude for Anchor Point, AK and found it to be 59.7796 degrees so your optimum average angle for your panels year round would be about 60 degrees. In summer, you could go 15 deg less at 45 degrees. In winter, you could go 15 deg more at 75 deg. For "solar south", I looked up your Sunrise & Sunset for Halloween 10/31 to be 9:28am & 6:13pm. So, on that day, your "solar noon" will be about 1:50pm. If you look where the sun direction is at that time on 10/31, then that is your "solar south" optimal average direction to face your panels. (Maybe you'll have a distant tree or landmark there that you can designate to be your solar south marker!! And that solar south direction and your marker should remain the same for you year round.) Let me know if your solar south direction agrees with your perception of where the sun seems strongest to you. Enjoy!

[@ouralaskahomestead]

Oh wow! Amazing info. I’ve already put the date and time in my calendar so we can see where the sun is for our Solar South. Thank you so much for the detailed explanation.

[@WîlliamWard-w6z]

@ouralaskahomestead ok, great... I "discovered" solar when I built my house in 1983. I took a course in "passive solar energy" and oriented my construction to get the rear of my house perfectly aligned to my solar south. At that time I placed 3 water based solar panels on my roof for water heating. Those panels are still working and typically preheat well water from 42F to 100F. When I redo my roof, I'll be removing those and converting to electrical panels like you have. My roof is at 45 degrees elevation which is optimum for a Connecticut Latitude. I'm enjoying your videos, keep them coming!

[@ouralaskahomestead]

@@WîlliamWard-w6z well, thank you for commenting and watching and thanks again for the excellent info.

[@KrissBartlett]

What happent to your deck you did i thought it was there last week???c ok i see the deck your building it under there at the end nice solar pannel for sure

[@wayneboulware4730]

I have 15.I'm not sure how many watts solar panels I put on the ground instead of the roof

[@kennethdarlingjr9957]

are your videos behind last one i watched you built your deck

[@geraldstoddard8215]

It looks like those panels are in the shade. The side of the house right around the corner looks sunnier.

[@ouralaskahomestead]

The sun rises over on the side but quickly comes around to the front and spends the day there until sunset.

[@shannondaytomasko6691]

That's awesome you got more powerful solar panels, but what about your Siding? Are you guys still getting your house covered with chipboard or sliced logs up and down the walls? Still waiting to see what your going to cover your house with!!!😮

[@ouralaskahomestead]

That’ll be in an upcoming video!

[@JacquelineRingel]

Time to build a place for the solar panels since you are building a deck and arctic entry. I’m sure you aren’t going to build the entry in front of your window right?

[@ouralaskahomestead]

We’ll be moving them.

[@bonneymoseley1159]

? You had deck going up on last one? Is this a replay?

[@chezj4]

Is this an old video? Where is the deck?

[@billvandamme2432]

yeah its an older one....wish they would just post when they have enough for a vid....so many out there saving up footage and then showing stuff out of sequence.....thats what really bugs me....

[@michaelharris3009]

Just wondering why you didn't put your siding up before your solar pannels?

[@ouralaskahomestead]

This spot is just temporary.

[@michiganjfrog5714]

♥

[@Ohiomx]

❤

[@wayneboulware4730]

Guess I sent it to the wrong person.I have 15 panels.I'm not sure how many watts I put on the ground instead of the roof I apologize to the other person I sent it to

[@dlfrestoration]

And here I'd me with 32x 550watt panels 😅 my idea of off grid is that you shouldn't have to compromise

[@ouralaskahomestead]

This is just the beginnings of our solar system but we’re pretty conservative on our usage. We won’t need anywhere near that large a set up. Not having to worry about heat or air conditioning help a lot.

[@davidasimkosr4641]

Great to have for solar... This video should have been played before your video on building the deck ..,

[@vickievixen3785]

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Would have, should have, could have. Who cares in the grand scheme of things when it was posted? I'm just glad to see they got the panels that are going to work

[@vickievixen3785]

? More senselessness.
