I find your presentations very Clear, and I greatly appreciate them. While some of the technical components may blur, I place a High Value on your professionalism in presentation. I have looked through your Library, with the intention of getting clarification on a couple of aspects in a very modest 12V install. Fundamentally, it has always been my understanding that in Any electrical circuit, minimizing ‘breaks’ in that circuit should always be an objective. Less connections, less resistance/line losses. The idea of fusing in a small system (2) 48V PV Panels has been suggested that I just use inline MC4 fuses; but, still Trying to reduce ‘breaks’/connections. Circuit Breakers, your video was Great. My understanding is that due to so many (Americans) improperly wiring CBS, that the regulatory agency (NEC) implemented a requirement that necessitates the use of a Radial Isolator (instead ?). But, Isolators are not designed to break flow on energized circuits (?), and only CBS have proper extinguishing for DC arc. To further complicate things, it has been suggested to me that as long as my Panels and Cables are properly sized WITHIN the parameters of my MPPT, that fuses aren’t necessary. Pretty clear how average people like myself can get things muddied, right ? And LAST, I have heard that in the cases of fuses, Fast acting are not always optimum, which is counterintuitive for simpler minds. Could you suggest which of your video library would potentially clear these (Dilemmas) up ? I am more than Happy to view again, with the hope of better clarity … Again, your content is Most Appreciated 🙏

Good info.

Thanks!

Good information thank you for sharing

[@SolarSolution]

Glad it was helpful!

Very interesting. If i enrol on the udemy course are you able to answer questions?

[@SolarSolution]

Hi Graham! Yes, you will be able to get answers directly from me through the Q&A button within the course lectures. Good luck!

[@SolarSolution]

Hello Graham; Yes you will be able to ask me questions directly. See you soon!

Is there a type of "combiner box" available that can primarily utilize power from solar panels (when sunlight is available) and supplement its output with grid power (as a secondary source) only when the solar current is insufficient to meet the required output?

[@tshepisosehloho3405]

In the combiner box why are you using a double pole whist you are only utilizing the positive wire from the panels?

[@rdp9110]

Hello sir can i ask help

[@benjones8977]

I tried to combiner box and couldn’t get it to work for anything. I followed every direction from the manual. I finally gave up and just ran two separate strings down to my bus bars and everything worked fine.

Made in China?

Hello! Is your course on udemy made for engineers? Or just for beginners? Thanks

[@SolarSolution]

Good question! It is made primarily for non-engineers at the beginner/intermediate level, though it turns out that engineers who have enrolled in the courses are learning from it as well. They said that some of the 'easier' lectures were refreshers, or that they would skip some lectures. Tip: The first few lectures are available as free preview, and Udemy has a 30 day refund policy. Have fun!

[@SolarSolution]

Hello Vicco. I have designed the course for beginners & intermediates. Engineers who already have a background in electrical engineering would probably not benefit that much from this course. I hope to see you soon!

[@ramzeneger]

I hope that someday is courses will becomes free at yt, because a lot of us in the provinces are financially challenged however udemy offers his courses at $14 which I think is the cheapest.

[@SolarSolution]

Hello Robert! Thank you for your feedback. I will be providing the courses free of charge for those who cannot afford it. I am currently working on this process, keep an eye on the main platform where I share the courses: courses.solarsolution.co [please note that proof of reduced financial capabilities is required]
