[@doncaranci2547]

Guys, I need to share a lil of my life with you. I recently lost my wife. Your videos bring me so much joy and comfort to watch. I am constantly waiting for the next video. The love and compassion you have for your work and each other is outstanding. Be well you all. PS The animals help me a lot also lol

Very smart to include that HEY! BURRIED WIRE HERE tape in your trench. Thinking like a pro

[@bduncan13132]

We didn't realize there was a thing until I saw her putting it in the trench a few inches above their wire. Definitely a very smart thing to do and I wish we would have thought of doing that. We have had to replace so many wires and pipes and drainage tile and this product would have avoided some of it.

[@stormmountain2521]

Greg I could just see the joy and the excitement all over your face. Congratulations.

38:22 when it comes to the yellow charger, you do not want to operate it when inverse on or connected batteries should be disconnected from the inverter so you can use external charger doing so you’ll get overcharge errors. To see how much you are using from the solar panels and your load use go to page 4 and page 7.

Katie, hello you. In Poland, I will follow in your footsteps and from 12-16.08 I will have up to 35 degrees of warmth. At my age of 78, I think I'll have to sit in the basement. And good health for you and the animals.

[@jackieanderson6599]

Finally yay in it's own lil home/shed.... and adding the panels to it as well... everything is coming together slowly but so exciting... love the plants on porch/patio... so excited for the start of the building addition... ❤❤❤ love watching the fur babies too❤❤❤

Hello Greg and Katie, Glad to see you got it installed and working. Made it look very simple and can't wait to see you get your panels up and working. The little goat agrees, very cute and growing fast.

[@suezaple4950]

Awesome solar set up, you folks are doing so well , your property has changed so much I cant even get grass to grow in my shade , let alone set up solar well done Greg. congratulations Katie and Greg on your upgrade

AWESOME CONGRATS!....That looks like a very easy installed system....

[@GaryRupp-fe6ly]

Stephen is getting bigger and exploring more. Hope he doesn’t get in bad trouble 😂so cute.. very impressive and informative, shed looks great 👍❤️❤️

[@WhiteGloveModels]

So excited you guys got it switched over. I would put a camera (or several cameras) in the Power Shed so you can see the panel from your phone to make sure everything is running and working from the house or if you're out and about. Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to see the solar upgrades you'll be doing!

[@terverismoss348]

You should put that cable in a 2 1/2" electrical pipe for safety, and if you need to change it or service it later

[@jana171]

What a great Sponsor video... equally interesting as it was promotional(I hope my non-native English suffice) I was checking out Sungold offers, and they REALLY are dirt cheat in comparison to many other hybrid systems, so I'm exited to get updates in the future !

[@ThisOffGridLife]

They have some awesome sales in right now

[@eastafrica1020]

Sounds like a cool power system.

[@willwipf7030]

❤ great team you are a special couple, love watching you work and play,you do need at least four baby goats at once they are fun ,

[@bay9876]

Solar technology is advancing and what was way too expensive before is now obtainable. Good move and years of worry free power. Cute goats.

[@bobtucker8875]

Moving on up,a great improvement 💪. Good for you guys.

[@RobSharp-wo5qj]

the power shed project looking great. Glad to see you buy the crimping tool for the cables. I guess you are going to seal the pipes where the cable pass through the wall. Steve is so cute

[@billroberts3864]

[@fredromanski5737]

Steve is a show stealer!

[@richardrojas6306]

Looks great. If for any reason you have to walk from your home to your new power room, you can probably buy a couple of Blue tooth or WI-FI cameras to see any outputs using a Ipad, cellphone or laptop without running quickly to see what's going on. It will be a good quick helpful way of detecting any issue.

[@Joebanker80]

I've been looking at all-inclusive charge/inverters for months now and I thought I had my decision made already for the EG4 6000-XP. After watching this video, I'm now considering the SunGold 10KW unit instead. The specs are comparable, but the price is about the same for an extra 4KW of power. I'd rather push 5KW through a 10KW inverter (50% Capacity) than through a 6KW inverter (84% Capacity). Batteries are my other hurdle to figure out. So many options now - I'm thinking of just biting the bullet and getting the 30KW King Kong battery for $6,400 and calling it a day. Thanks so much for the information on the SunGold inverter.

[@ThisOffGridLife]

One thing to consider is the inverters idle consumption. The 10kw will use more than the 6kw. We are noticing a big the battery usage now that we’re on the 10kw and don’t have the new panels set up yet. The nice thing about the server rack batteries is you can expand over time as funds become available. But that sounds like a really good deal

[@Joebanker80]

@@ThisOffGridLife It turns out the King Kong battery is no longer made by "BigBattery", which is a company located in California. I called BigBattery after I wrote my last comment to inquire more about the 30KW battery and talked with a rep. I was informed that the parts company that supplied the King Kong components are selling it now (counterfeit) under the Battery/EVO brand with the same name. Big Battery no longer offers that product. The rep said the EVO battery isn't UL listed. It just sounded really good for an all-in-one 30KW battery with wheels - plug and play. Never-mind that now I guess. A server rack system is a good start for me as well. The only legitimate alternative would be the EG4 PowerPro 14.3KW model for $3,600 (today's price). How many watts idle consumption does the SunGold use?

[@henryminton4760]

That's you both know how to do a lot of things..When your living off grid,you have to be the Jack of all trades..Especially when you are far from the city and you also save a lot of money for the DIY too..

[@jesserobinson4382]

I look forward to your videos. You all have been such an inspiration for me and many others. I have started looking into property to go off grid and the way you all do things is so amazing to watch.

[@flowerstone]

I was waiting to see you touch the buss in the converter as you were pointing things out. I see all this tiny wire running everything. Mine is 2-OTT cables running each of my 200amp panels. 😊

[@duncangough9969]

Great job guys. I would probably have put a larger conduit or 2 (maybe 2 x 50mm) between the house and the shed just incase you need to expand the system. That is just me and the way I do things though.

[@LastChanceTinyHouse]

I realize this video might be a week out but I think you should run a line to the wood shed, spa, and workshop. get it all done now while its hot.

[@PabloP169]

I would have run cables from the solar panels, before starting the swap over, else you were likely to flatten your new batteries, before you get your panels connected. When are you upgrading the solar panels as well, as people often think that a bigger battery/inverter system is all they need, when the basic requirement is the solar power to exceed what you need to supply power to. So I think that you may have put the "horse before the cart". Yes the higher voltage system, will reduce the voltage drop across some of the cabling and that is good as it means less power may be lost in the cables.

[@denniswray470]

Very interesting I am happy for you with the upgrade.
