Dubbel your credit if you watch it twice. ;)
Actually The company “General Electric” is one of the bestest electrical panel manufacturers although they feel like they’re junk. Also the bestest electrical panel manufacturers are Square D, and General Electric. but the company “ eaton“, they make kind of middle of the road electrical panels and breakers. I am A kid and my name is Caleb and I really like doing electrical work. Once when I was visiting my grandma Bob came and was fixing electrical issues in her garage I came to help Bob , I saw a burnt reseptical and plugged in a plug tester and it said that the hot and neutral wires were switched around and I fixed it.And if you were wondering who’s Bob,Bob is a person that goes around and fixes problems in peoples’ homes. also I am 9 years old.
Amazing video, great job, big respect and thank you for putting up such quality content!
Outstanding!!! Appreciate the video.
Hey Ron, I'm an electrician from NYC. I have to say, a job well done. Hope the apprentices are watching? Excellent work!

Great video. I’m getting ready to do a panel upgrade and service entrance upgrade and I want to stub out for a generator and solar panels and possibly add a sub panel. Would love to see a video that includes all that. I also discovered those cable clamps that install from the inside - nice to see I made a good choice.

For the solar, it's likely going to be a back-feeding situation which would wold be 40, or a 50amp circuit breaker back feeding onto the busbar. For the generator too it would be a bit more complex because you have "lock out" the DC from the solar and prevent it from back-feeding onto the standby generator.
I just stumbled onto your videos two days ago. I've mainly been watching a couple of other electricians. I've subscribed to your channel, and am very impressed with your knowledge. Please keep these videos coming because they are some of the most interesting and best that I have seen. Thank you!!

My business started in 2009. Right after that in 2011 we had this October snowstorm that brought down branches from trees because the trees still had leaf's on them. Then we had hurricane Irene and hurricane Sandy. The combination of those three storms really pushed the standby and portable generators narrative.

I'm an organizational FREAK when it comes to wiring - old network guy - and I so very much appreciate the clean look to your wiring. Not only does it look better, it makes it so much nicer for the "next guy" to do anything in that panel. I'm no electrician and I would feel 100% safer going into that panel, than what it was before. Great video too, I learned quite a bit.

Thanks for watching the video! Be sure you account for voltage drop because with 150' run there's sure to be voltage drop. To account for this, you'll need to run larger conductors than normal.
