Nice build. I did a similar set up here in Michigan using 2x10 with a water pipe as the hinge with the panels over it almost centered and using cable and turnbuckle system for wind / snow / seasonal changes. Its been up since 2015 so I am sure you will get a long life out of it. One thing I have done is install a small east and west facing array to produce a charge early and late day. Good luck with it all. Gary in SE MI

Very nicely done

Thank you.

Very nice and sturdy build. Smart to make it adjustable to get the most bang out of your buck during every season.

I really like that you record videos as it is without any hype. Great job!👍 I'm learning a lot from you guys because I'm considering solar, but I don't know anything at all about it. Thanks!✨

Sizeable kahunas....😎👍❤

For a total beginner's standpoint, if it is possible, perhaps you can share from the beginning how you went about figuring out how much power you would need, how many panels to get that power, how many batteries to store that power, etc. All the other channels I have looked at just assumes people know everything about solar, and they just start fast-talking and using terms that beginners don't understand, but I can totally understand everything you guys have featured. Again, great job showing the installation in real time without hype. ✨ 🎈

To be honest with you I felt exactly the same way. What did was looked at our light bill from before we moved to our homestead. It tells you how many watts you use every month That’s where I started. It’s hard to know how much power you’re going to need by looking at you appliances when you don’t have any yet. So I just decided to start with a system I knew would run the basic stuff and set it up where we can always add on. That’s why we went the way we did. We are still learning. We did do a video last week with the breakdown of what we did and how much we have spent. If you haven’t seen it check it. We are going to do a follow so we can answer some questions we got. Thanks for watching and hanging out.

@@dodget7004 Makes perfect sense. Thank you so much. I'll start monitoring my usage of electricity, and you're very correct that my bills have been through the moon. Once again, thanks for your guidance, and I look forward to future videos. Appreciate you keeping your content real, and showing that it's never the cakewalk we think it to be. Best Always. 👍
