What does £100,000+ of DOMESTIC renewable energy look like?

Good vid, just discovered your channel. Think it could have comfortably been twice as long.

[@deanojones1486]

Incredible video, I would definitely want these guys doing my install. Do a high quality job but having a bit of fun. What it’s all about 👌🏼

I love my solar. Renewable Energy sure saves me. Installed solar panels on my roof and a grid tied inverter (no lithium batteries for me). This was my 3rd solar panel installation, each at a different property. Also have an old Solar Hot Water System (HWS) on my roof - which produces more than enough hot water for my needs, even after days on overcast weather. My power bills have turned to credits, and I now get free electricity and make around $100 per month tax free. It's like having a piggy bank on my roof. Highly recommend others do this if they can. Use a reputable, quality installer, do your research first.

No lubrication, no cable pull-there are a lot of shadows on these panels. I hope the optimizers will do their work.

[@craigbutler6243]

Lubricant in a cable duct? Conduits, yeah, but a 100mm cable duct? Should have had a cable chamber at the bend & pulled it from there

[@marcinamnesiac3155]

@@craigbutler6243 of course on long distances is a must, especially when machine being used to pull cables.

Enjoyed this!

Why have tall trees next to the site??

[@NacNacMOTT]

The location's choice of this customer is really debatable...

[@NacNacMOTT]

Technically, a good installation and nice efforts with this bendy trench. On the other hand, customer's choice to use so much green space is highly debatable and quite ridiculous especially seen the roof space there. A carport would have been more useful and surely with less shade.

[@BillyGooding]

Are they going to chop the trees down? The trees are shadowing the panels

This photo was taking at around 8:30 in the morning, after about an hour they are all in full glorious sunshine. The system benefits from Solaredge optimisers as well, so when there is shade present it doesn’t have any impact on the panels in full sunshine.

Payback of 9 years seems remarkable.

[@NacNacMOTT]

Most Solar installations designed for the household needs have 7 to 10y payback.

[@patrickd9551]

9 years to recoup the costs. That's 12k a year worth of power consumption. That is a LOT of power and at 28p/KWh (UK average) that's 43000 KWh a year! There are years where I don't really use that much power. Or decades for that matter :) At my current consumption that would be just over 15 years. And there are also the days when the sun don't shine, so you still need to be connected to the grid. I don't know what they are growing in that house, but here in NL I would suggest that it would be a nice supplement to the household income in the form of earthy smelling herbs 😅

[@adnanahmed5606]

Multiple electric cars, induction cookers, electric HVAC systems plus it’s a pretty big house, but it’s funnier to just assume they’re growing a bunch of weed 😂

[@IXISSV]

Plus selling excess back to grid can make some money tho 👍

[@steffen12]

80 panels * 430watts results in a peak power of slightly over 34kw.....i hardly doubt that they will produce 43000kwh per year. Or do they life in Australia? Average UK output would be something like 1000kwh per kwp or even little bit less. But money does not seem to matter for the customer, that's fine. But at least you should do a more realistic calculation for your followers an customers.

[@IXISSV]

Plus, where the batteries we're installed, was all their pool pumps etc. if they're running 24/7, that's gonna add up

[@patrickd9551]

@@steffen12 1000KWH/Wp is average for UK, however sssuming these panels are south facing (why wouldn't they be), you can assume 1000 KWh/Wp due to perfect orientation. But you've got a fair point here. Even at 1200, you can barely get to that 43000 KWh. But I'm also assuming perfect power consumption and no grid consumption. Which we all know is not going to work. That part is also regularly neglected from calculations.
