Nice post. How do you connect the array to the combiner box? That's the step I'm stuck at figuring out. I'm trying to decide between starting and enphase vs expanding my All in one

Has anyone tried these mounts? They're about $12.65 per bracket. You need roughly 2 per panel, and it doesn't include the rail system so you have to get a separate rail system. Maybe Will can do a video? I'm willing to be a 'Guinea Pig'...

Why not just add more panels to your regular home solar system? What are the benefits of each way?

Interesting. How can you have both the AC and DC pump connected? And how did you mount those panels to the side of the house?

The balcony is not covered, open to the sky

I measured the solar production with a clamp meter and the solar production displayed on the inverter seems accurate. According to the inverter, solar production exceeds the inverter usage at around 140W. But the unit is fully functional when solar production is even under 100W when grid is...

Anyone know what's the best way to mount panels on the side of a house over a balcony? It will not only be a balcony cover, but will produce electricity. The panels are fairly heavy at 56lbs. Could be something that mounts them on a wall but out about 6 inches to cover the roof, or could be some...

How does that work? You didn't dig the concrete into the ground?

Right now my inverter says solar production is 39 W. It was running full speed withoutout grid. It seems as though the inverter numbers are way off

That's terrible. 2.5 kwhr per day

I don't have my meter connected yet, but I did an experiment. I don't have battery or loads connected. Only solar and grid connected. Back feeding to grid. I waited until solar production was just under 100W. It showed that the inverter was using power from the grid. However, when I turned off...

What's the idle consumption on this piece of junk?

That's for their used panels that are in stock

Santansolar claims they are so busy that it's taking months to fulfill orders 🤷

What a deal it was. It's too heavy, otherwise I would have bought it too

What did you order Sparky?

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...

Heck of a deal. But at 125 lbs, it is not a One person installation, so I have to pass

Any pictures? Sounds really cool

Quite possibly could be otherwise how is he going to use 300 kwhr per day?

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

Good idea. They keep getting cheaper and cheaper

How many did you get?

Yeah, that's too high

Did you find the code?

Not sure. Try 25OFF

25 kwhr is really good. Let's see how high it gets for the summer

You can do grid tied DC. That's what I'm planning to add to

I have one

How do you GPU mine? And how did you pay off your equipment in 1 year? That's amazing

Bitcoin mining

So let's say you spent $700 on the miners. You will need about 8-9kw solar system to produce enough electricity to run it, so maybe around another $2900. Total cost around $3600 and produces $60 per month, so ROI 5 years. How long do those miners last?

Wow, that's crazy. 36 kwhr per day?

How? I want to make money too
