Going the extra mile for our customers

[@Writerdust]

I love to see things loaded up and I love to see things built!

[@engineer775]

That's what we do :) site visit/consult, design, sell, receive, load, build, followup and repeat!

[@ColHatley]

I have been watching your videos for many years now. I just want to say you are so very talented and super smart. Glad to see you make use of it... ATB Von

[@timteeslink9410]

love how the mini rails double as wire trays. Makes for a clean install. Great job!

[@PennsylvaniaPrepper]

We developed our spring. Watching your videos gives people inspiration and confidence!

[@izzyplusplusplus1004]

I want to see! I saw your comment a long while back, can't remember much more than that lol.

[@PennsylvaniaPrepper]

@@izzyplusplusplus1004 Well, I can take pics in the spring. I don't know where the videos are...

You always do top notch work Scott. I rally like the idea of the RV hook up in the shop as a back up.

[@jeffgarner3178]

Please go to Home Depot and pick up a couple of sets of Ladder stabilizer arms for the top of your ladders. It will put your ladder at a safer angle and when you put the ladder on the roof it will offset the ladder from any gutters. I see you have ladder foot adjusters which is also safer because your ladder than stays straight. I use a different type for window cleaning business.

[@kevinroberts781]

Indeed! we use those at the top of all our ladders! Once you buy one you will buy one for every ladder! Heck every ladder should come with one imo.

[@practicalpreppers7798]

Thank you Jeff!

[@ek9772]

Your jobs are great due to the human talent involved.

[@westcoaststacker569]

I installed my SMA grid tied systems, the Solar Ark looks very versatile. Nice Install, Seems we jumped from spot to spot, but got a good idea of the scope.

[@adammcgowen3229]

Looks great! btw... 1/2" liquidtight conduit works perfect for mini split drains. way cheaper and easier to run through walls :)

[@jesse1441]

Awesome idea

[@giovannifiorentino8947]

Neat work. You may also like to place some splash blocks at the bottom of the downspouts before they undermine the building footings.

[@engineer775]

Good point. That was bothering me too.

[@deafonic9416]

Okay so I just tried simulating a prepper situation. The energy and heating wasn't at all a problem even on very cold nights, it was the food and water. I consumed an absurd amount of water, and generated an absurd about of garbage from MREs. Not to mention I got pretty sick of eating MREs. I live in northern Canada so it's freezing for most of the year. I'm wondering if you have any videos/ideas for an indoor hydroponic system to grow fresh veggies.

[@TheFarmacySeedsNetwork]

You always do such nice professional installs E775!

I’ve enjoyed all of your installs. Might go that route myself when it comes time.

[@fallriverns]

In Canada you can't go on a travel lift or a roof above 9 feet without a safety harness. It seems like a pain but trust me, they work. Worth thinking about guys.

[@shawnderrick1952]

Great drone footage! More like that in the future,please.

Novice question. Why the PV DC disconnects when the inverter has built in physical disconnects? I'm sure there is a logical reason, I'm simply curious.

[@StephenMattison66]

SO nice! I'd give my left...to have you do my place in Missouri! Great job!

@@engineer775 Perfect, when ready will do, TY! My house roof sucks for solar, but I'm adding a shop out back with S facing roof big enough for 10KW or so. I do all my electrical grunt work & my friends at Stidham Electric (in central Missouri) do all the fancy stuff.

[@weeman516]

Theoretically there should be no limit to how far you can out the CT's front the solark current is the same at any point in a circuit no matter the distance. That's why 90% of industrial sensors are 4-20 milliamp the wire can be 1000s of feet long.

[@davidpetrusewicz7729]

I hope you identify the netural wire on 2 pole breaker hot. Tape or marker. Because I didn't see that with you panel cover off. I hope your panel would have proper cleaning in kitchen area. Above your stove plug below the panels.

[@jasonb5704]

Ok I am wanting to get in to solar,grid tie. like the idea with solark system but is it worth the money with 7,500 or is there a better way to go to get e.m.p. harden.what about these emp shield modules add on.and how come it's not on 2019 best grid tie systems. Need real help to make up my mind.and why emp 150 watt. Panel.

What a great team you have and very nice job!

[@Jasfras1]

Hey .... You guys do make a realy neat job. Another great vid with loads of info. Could do with a report on the mini rails and some simple explanation of various systems.

[@ResponsiblePatriot]

I'm curious about affordable solar energy storage. Shopping online it seems like the components for storing (batteries, rack, etc.) nearly double the cost of the equipment. I'm planning a small installation, just enough to cover regular usage excluding the HVAC system because we have alternative methods for this. But I don't want to spend 30k on something I don't expect to replace my electric bill

[@Themachinewon]

Question, why do you use so low powered solar panels & inverters.? Same array with Sun Power panels would have given that customer 15,540Kw system.

[@jesse1441]

What do you mean low powered? I don’t think this system was just installed, the pv panels were probably around 250w each which was normal s few years ago. Also it was probably more economical to install a little lower wattage panel at a much better price since they had ample room on the roof. It wouldn’t be wise to throw the latest and greatest 360+ watt panels on a huge roof at the premium sun power panel price. And not everybody is a sun power dealer.

[@andrewevanoff1192]

I'm thinking about purchasing a hybrid AC (ACDC12). Can I pick it up at your warehouse, to save on shipping costs? I'm in the Upstate SC. Another question, if you don't mind. The description shows that it requires 220 VAC. Is there a 120 VAC model? 120VAC / solar DC, obviously.

[@GainSolarPower]

[@richardlibby2407]

Your professionalism shines through (no pun intended). Do you consult on the west coast at all?

[@engineer775]

Only via phone, zoom, whatsapp, etc

[@TWmarkjohns]

Hey guys, great installation!! I noticed that you prep your panels and pre-tie the cables before install, I also noticed a little black cylindrical unit on the module cables (it's shown at point 24.23mins in your video) can you shed some light on what that is?

[@engineer775]

It is part of the sol-arks system installation to install these suppressors as part of the overall EMP protection strategy.

[@TWmarkjohns]

@@engineer775 Thanks man :-)

[@gtdoering4630]

You guys ALWAYS do great work! When are you opening a New York area office?

[@johnkubik8559]

Great you love solar. But when I see your roof with a 25' angle and I doubt that you are in the tropics where this angle would make sense for south oriented panels, in your setup it look more like a east west setup where you will catch the sun when its low on horizon, a 60' angle would improve your panel efficiency a lot, less panels same power output

[@vincentmasanja789]

It is true, L.E.D lights are energy saver.

[@DONALD1951]

Vincent Masanja for sure.

[@DONALD1951]

Dumb question I’m sure, but if you have solar electricity in a normal suburban situation and the city power goes out, will you still have electricity? In other words, you won’t need a generator? Thanks

[@engineer775]

Correct. If you have a battery based system like this one.

[@karlfair]

Scott, you guys do really nice work. At 13:45 is the panel on the right grid power?

[@james6794]

doing a bypass on those metal halide fixtures is a pain. the ones I've seen you cant do a bypass while the fixture is still hanging. what did those new fixtures cost? hard to believe new is cheaper. but i guess time is money. quicker to swap the fixtures then do a bypass

[@uspslunch6995]

It is cheaper to replace the fixture, look on ebay for UFO led high bay lamps.

[@N8TheSnake]

Super confused as to the purpose of 3 critical load panels in one house, help me understand oh wise sir!

[@GainSolarPower]

Nathan D there are 3 different buildings, each one has its own panel and wiring system so each one needs a critical loads panel if you want power there. Panels aren’t that expensive

[@N8TheSnake]

@@GainSolarPower ah I thought there were 3 panels for the one house, I was like da fuq?? So the panels are all in the one building for easy access and proximity to the solark?

[@AnnBearForFreedom]

If 300 miles away is video-worthy, I'm betting Bakersfield, California is not a realistic possibility. For the best, I suppose. Figuring out how to install something myself means I can maintain and troubleshoot it myself. Lemme at it, lemme at it!
