207kWh System... In 12V??? 😬

[timselectric]

This is what you get when you pick the wrong installer.

Maybe I am a bit jealous of the MT pole mounts and the REC Alphas, with that budget id have twice as many.

 

[Nobodybusiness]

Holy cow, where do we start...

$149,000 of batteries... are they unaware of other options on the market today? 12V batteries in series? Yikes...

Definitely not what I would use for batteries.
You would think someone in the industry would know better.

My biggest question is what does “ Surfer dude” do for a living to afford all that?

 

[Nobodybusiness]

And I thought Engineer775 installs were excessive. This one wins hands down.

Scott’s clients dictate all that just like this one did.

Trust fund operator.

 

[Andrewr05]

All that and still running a generator

Riiiiiight?
All that money and still needing a top up.
Which there's nothing wrong with from a normal users perspective, but as essentially a display piece for Battleborn?
LMFAO


Anddd that they're battleborn at all too

It's all relative.
Some of us wouldn't consider a 48kw system, excessive.

 

[DIYrich]

Would have been a perfect build for HV batteries and 60kw sol-ark

That is 3 phase, not split phase.

 

[G00SE]

That is 3 phase, not split phase.

Seems they were almost starting from scratch. With that many outbuildings and acreage 3 phase could work

I saw this video some days ago and dropped a comment. Dude was saying he did great for his client.

48?? I got 34 and I want to triple it at least.

He means kW. Not kWh. 48kW of output is absolutely wild to me personally.

I meant excessive in cost of equipment used.

Gotcha. So that is like 3 of the best on demand tankless water heaters at the same time type of power.

Don’t forget radiant heat floors

I definitely agree with that.

 

[OffGridForGood]

I'm surprised, based on location, that the batteries and solar are sufficient for winter weather conditions.

There not, they have back up diesel generator tied in for back up.
If someone knows the location - what does PVWatts show per kW of PV for this area?

 

[hrchonda]

When your facing a hefty tax bill and the company needs expenses......

I missed that in the video; the wife kept asking many questions about the installation.
If they do not have a wood/pellet stove, I would believe they use quite a bit of diesel.
