You know what's even nicer? Slater realistically giving points from his perspective and capabilities without being insensitive to who ever watches his content. He knows not all people can afford such a setup but him informing us of every significant detail as truthfully as possible is a welcome bit. Even the full disclosure of the sponsored fan is great stuff worthy of emulation. Keep it up Engr! Hard hats off to you! 😉

[@JC0820]

Actually, I see this content as an aspiration for the government to do their part to make or use clean energy sources to protect our environment. Even though it is costly and has a slow ROI, the benefits to our environment are enormous. Imagine if every country used clean energy; our planet would be cleaner, and natural disasters would be reduced; more lives would be saved, and less money would be spent to repair structures damaged by the disaster.

[@JC0820]

@Hardcore Ladies That's why I said every country should use it. not only in the Philippines, because I know that the only way to have that technology have an impact on climate change is for every person in the world to do their part.

I like that he revealed all the details, from their actual expenses to ROI computations. And he concluded the most important lesson - sustainability and being eco friendly. I think it's important to know that if you're capable to do something better and totally out of norm, though it costs us something, it always is not for our own convenience but also for the environment. I love this content, very raw, practical and straightforward!

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.

I love this channel because it is so educational in a way. I have a DIY solar setup at our home and I spent 60k plus (cheap because I am the only one who set it up and some parts are 2nd hand) and it can only run the essential lights at home, router and charging our phones and 2 laptops if ever we experience power outage. Trick is use the electric devices at night, like what we did after Typhoon Odette hit us. I am still going to install a solar setup to our deep well water pump but these rainy days make me feel lazy to fully set it up. It has been rainy for days in Cebu.

in 2015 we had a DIY solar setup, a single 50 Watts Solar Panel, 2 Motolite Lead Acid Batteries, and a 500 Watts Inverter (@ only P9,500 over all cost including control panel, wires, woods, nails). 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). Last 2020 the Solar Panel and Batteries reached its lifespan, we are now saving for a better setup.

[@rosylinhortelano6411]

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.

[@Tgree69]

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.

[@niktak1114]

Most off-grid or hybrid inverters will allow you to still be connected to the grid and have battery backup

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.

Hi Slater! Awesome and very informative video, super helpful for me during my process now of choosing our solar panel set up. I very much appreciate these videos. 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. 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

[@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

[@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

[@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

@@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.

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.

Indi man ganun kaganda ang result pagdating sa gastos, ang maganda sa gantong set up ay panatag ka padin na kumportable ang pamilya kahit brownout. Kaya sana all may 2M.hahaha Thank you Engr. sa detalyadong video.👍

[@AntonioAguirre]

Great review! Much appreciated! Will need this when we build our next home. ☺️

"I LIKE THE SET UP AND EVERY DETAILS AND OF IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A SOLAR POWER. THANK MATE AND MORE POWER TO YOUR CHANNEL....

[@rzm17]

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

[@louiegboi]

this is very informative and on point especially sa mga naghahanap na alternative or nagpaplan na magswitch ng source of energy. Also, malaking bagay ung transparency sa naging cost, previous bills prior the solar panel use and ung bill after naman mainstall. atleast it will us weigh our option. thank you for this Slater.

[@ghebau19]

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

You can loan 2m and pay it in 10-15 years. parang wala kang nilabas na pera nagkaroon kapa ng solar panel system set up. yes merong interest. total is 3.5m sa 15 years load with 5% interest per year. so more or less 15-16k per month ang bill mo still yung solar panel system mo ang nagbabayad sa loan mo

Kaylangan ni og part 2, murag need e walk through gi unsa pa integrate wires, connectivity sa current traditional set up namo, na dili pd ma compromise ang aesthetics sa balay. Balak namo mag Diy. Salamat ani slate

[@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!

[@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. 🙏🏻

[@louisferiestrella5532]

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

[@vincenzomagallen]

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

[@pierrem.4258]

Even i dont understand the filipino part, i loved your video and how you set up your home! Hope you can influence more upper class people to hop on the train

[@barnsjc]

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

Very responsible young husband and father! Always thinking the welfare of his family.

[@angelabuenafeYT]

Yes, many of the things that I need to know have been addressed. Thank you for this!

da best talga tong si slater, purong puro yung content. dami mo matutunan

[@roblesjester]

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. In the near future lahat magadopt na sa renewable energy, I always watch your videos. I have a lot learnings from you. All the best to you.

[@hf5086]

Thank you for your honest video! I like how realistic this is and that you're honest about the cost and worth of the system.

[@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.

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.

[@ZerJayMoto]

Slater, gwapo kaau pagka explain... very effective teacher cguro ka ug nag maistro ka... nice one...
