How not to do solar :)

[Crossy]

No prizes, but any comments on what's missing/wrong, will/may help the noobs aiming to go for "free" energy.

 

If you see anything that's good, comments on that are also welcome.

Nice thick wires, wired up beautifully.

A few breakers/fuses wouldn’t go amiss

Fun me, looks like it was installed by Stevie Wonder.

Good thing is, it seems to be working, everything else needs a bit fine tuning.

A bit of self deprecation does us good from time to time.....

Looks like a child did the wiring; terrible.

How much did that system cost?  It would be a fortune back home.

Is this your kitchen?

 

You have no room to cook!

 

But, I like the color of your flooring.

Although, I would have chosen hardwood.

The Growatt SPF5000ES inverters now cost ฿23,000 each

 

The nRuit 9kWh LiFePO4 Batteries cost me ฿68,000 each over 2 years ago, but I’m sure they are cheaper now.

 

I have been off-grid for 6 years and my system powers 2 electric cars and an electric motorbike bike.

Why so much power?

Are you powering grow-lights, or something?

Very nice.

I appreciated the video.

But, the color of the sky, and the low tree growth...reminds me of some place like Alsaska.
