  • Post in thread: Ecoworthy Solar Tracker $279

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/XXX/124431577755 This is the cheapest I've seen it Keep in mind that every time they have a sale, which has been happening every couple of weeks or so, the price keeps going lower and lower than previous sales. It doesn't seem like the solar business is doing too good

    Do you do residential installations too?
  • Post in thread: 336V cable sizing for solar panels.

    I paid the extra $40 and went with 8awg wire. I can add more panels if I want at any time. Depends on the cost difference
  • Post in thread: Bifacial panels really work!

    Wow, that's significant. You guys are making me want to change my plans. But I don't have any snow in my area
  • Post in thread: Eg4 Brightmount ground mount or Eco-worthy ground mount

    I got the ecoworthy one. connected 2 together. might do a third one. I chose this because it was the cheapest option and it works so far. about $100 on ebay for 3-4 panels
  • Post in thread: Used panels as low as $0.10/watt

    Good point. Water damage panels are not going to last. It's almost the same price if you consider that and shipping costs https://inxeption.com/pdp/flash-sales/inxeptionmarketplace/inxeptionenergymarketplace-longi-370w-lr4-60hph?showTimer=false&st=products $0.20/watt free shipping new panels

  • Post in thread: Install and Operation of the SUNGOLD 10KW 48V SPLIT PHASE SOLAR INVERTER

    Same here. And those pine trees are not so easy to trim. You need a professional to cut the top and it's cost prohibitive.
  • Post in thread: Cheapest and easiest way to keep panels working during a power outage

    Not a bad idea, but at that point, would just go with a generator. Would be cheaper
  • Post in thread: EcoFlow Smart Home Panel + Delta Pro = Gamechanger!!!

    I didn't end up not buying the Ecoflow. It's too expensive. I bought an inverter that can AC couple
  • Post in thread: EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra

    First I wanted to go the Ecoflow route. 2 delta pros can run a house. But it was too expensive just as a backup solution that wouldn't be used much. Just doesn't make sense for such a high price. So I went the generator route. Much cheaper and unlimited backup when hooked up to the house gas...

    I have trouble moving my 33 lb panels. I can't even imagine something twice as heavy
  • Post in thread: Install and Operation of the SUNGOLD 10KW 48V SPLIT PHASE SOLAR INVERTER

    Sungoldpower is very responsive. I always get answered quickly. But I don't like how they discontinued the IP6048

  • Post in thread: What are the actual FINES for unpermitted solar installations?

    This is exactly what I would recommend. Get a small system professionally installed then add more to it later. Just make sure what they're installing will be expandable easily. And make sure they put in the contract regarding up sizing wires, etc. The solar industry has slowed down a lot in...
  • Post in thread: 2024 YouTube Video Ideas

    How about reviewing or DIY setups for "AC Solar Panels". Seems like it will be a great DIY option for everyone to adopt that don't need batteries. Easier set up/installation and cheaper (basically panels that come with microinverters already installed)
  • Post in thread: Cheapest and easiest way to keep panels working during a power outage

    Cheap would be under $3000 total. I don't need much power, just enough to get the panels online. I can add more if I need later, but it's mostly to prepare for the terrorist attack, so it's not going to be used daily
  • Post in thread: Used panels as low as $0.10/watt

    Santansolar is having a sale on some of their panels. The sale says buy one get one half off on all used panels, but the code only works on some of their panels. It might be a glitch. But it stacks on top of sale panels. There are a few panels between $26 to $30, around 250W each. That comes out...
  • Post in thread: Pricing in used panels

    There's a tile adhesive they make to glue the panel footings to. Kind of expensive but super easy. It's kind of a permanent thing though and I'm not sure if my tiles are screwed on tight enough. I might try it. Otherwise, I guess I have to figure out how to do the solarhooks
  • Post in thread: Please help an old Disabled Engineer!

    There's a few other options for getting plans. Here's a link to santansolar options. It's as cheap as $500: https://www.santansolar.com/product-category/design-plans/ There's other websites too. There's a guy on these forums that does them. Seems to be very helpful and quick: ncsolarelectric...
  • Post in thread: Which Solar Panels?

    The bifacial 400w panels? How much were they?
  • Post in thread: When is the best time to start a solar project?

    What do you have?
  • Post in thread: When is the best time to start a solar project?

    Yes, it's very hard in hot weather (over 100F) for any roof
  • Post in thread: Altestore.com clearance

    That totally makes sense. Usually people get solar when they move into a new house. But nobody can afford a new house these days. And California screwed their solar industry with this NEM crap. I can Imagine the poor sales will continue. I know installers are having more sales too and have...
  • Post in thread: Upgrades to Eco-Worthy to accommodate 3 large panels

    I need to modify mine too. Can you please give us more information?
  • Post in thread: Unintended consequences of Solar that we see

    For one of my systems at least, it has a slight cooling effect on the roof in the summers so AC is run a little less. Another one is still to be seen, but had to cut some trees that were in the way, so not sure if it balances out

    I just watched the videos on their website. Seems pretty gimmicky
