Engineer775 is a channel covering a variety of topics from Homesteading to Renewable Energy, from Water pumping to Hydronics, from Gasification to Air Conditioning.
My ultimate goal is to be completely self sufficient through the wise use of the resources that exist on any small farm. We hope to continue to share ideas on a constant quest to figure things out and help as many people as possible.

Background too loud. We can't hear and understand you.
💯 percent
Looks great! Get well soon! :)
are you hiring?
Thanks for posting. Even with similar systems, I often learn something new that you point out.
I usually see a box below your solar arrays. What is usually inside that box? Just a combiner box?
if you hang solar panels vertically they preform much better than solar tracking and its far cheaper. keeping one side shaded and cool boosts the overall output. you would be better off laying them flat and trickle cool them...
Wow thanks for sharing!
Nice project.
I got more excited on this for your customer than for the solar. Dude is living the dream. Alone is a valley, green all around, large piece of land, no utilities to give dime to, building a shop and a house…. I just hope he puts some animal in there and create a series of ponds on those hillsides.
It soon as I saw a ground mound in my KZread feed, I knew it was engineer775💪🏼
Sounds like you still have that cold I was about last week.
I'm waiting for it to dry up so I can get started on a solar wind off-grid system
Nice job. Sir. Hope you feel better soon.
That valley is 🤯😍 and that solar system 👌🏾 Nice works fellas
Love the new KZread voice ! Very sultry. Hope you get better soon
Stay outta the kitchen
how long can the array be generating (built) without a "load" on it? i would think panel damage could occur if just sitting in full sun without it being utilized.....thanks for any info yall have.
Let's see the pull/junction box
Get well soon and stay safe. 😊
Finally hit puberty son.

LARGE LOT SIZE FOR LARGE GROUND MOUNT. GREAT JOB! 👏
We used to make solar mounts for a company called Sunlink. Hit me up if you want info.
Very true, logistics is always the first priority in home, business and warfare.
First!
Awesome video, Scott! I love what you've done with the extra solar panels you've had left over. The solar powered golf cart is a great concept and I wish I had one when I'm out on the links. Also, your solar array is huge. Easy on the eyes, and a nice setup. Keep up the great content!
U can also run a coil thru your compost pile and the heat will give u hot water
What is the brand of the system? Is it sold all together w solar panels, pump and refusers
Even superman couldn't install these posts on my ground, even if made from titanium.
Sure he could. He just needs a drill
Sir, imt 560 tractor could run generator of 15 kva ?. Thank you
Great Product, can you install Bifacial Panels on this System?
Loved this very intelligent and well spoken didn’t hear a single umm the entire experience
I love the layout, clean and professional.
Can the (ram pump)pump water over 1000 feet?
How far ram pump water can go?
Anyone know if i am supposed to put a lil circulating pump in my ibc tote??? Or any drops to put in the water to keep it safe and clean for the garden???
Where can I find one?
That is a great idea, Really good.
How much does a system like this cost ??
The price tag and the range are not equal 250/225 range I guess you have to choose between build quality and range.
Why do they not sell this product anymore......?
There is zero chance of centering all off those on the rafter. Also it does not seat flush lol.
360 deep , 15gpm cost was 12,500 in north Georgia including pump, casing, hook up, and gravel
Why did you never upload a follow up video? What happened to the project? I want to do the Organic Rankine Cycle myself, but there are only a handful of videos on yt and they have relatively little to do with real world use. Did it fail because of the wrong cooling liquid, because i think the majority of the gas is in gas form so you cant boil it off (i think)? I want to use petroleum-ether with a boiling point of 60°c and instead of a pump a check valve and gravity, the only problem is how to get the oil into the scroll compressor. I will find a solution but i am disappointed that you don't even comment on what happened because i find it very interesting as an enthusiast in power generation systems to see rare diy projects in these topics and there is just silence but your channel is active, dosent make sense to me.
Scott run strut on top of what you already installed along both sides of the panel from front to back. That would tie the racks back together so the stress is not transferred to the panel. It would also protect the panel from someone trying to reach up and grabbing it like a handle.
i own the previous red frame generation to that northstar PW. Mine has regular household 120v plug, 15amps, 1700psi comet pump. Its been very good over the years and everything about it is solid and quality. I can get parts im told if I ever need to. Great tool! I wish they kept the red frame
Best customer built array I’ve ever seen
Hey Scott. I'm going to be getting in touch with you about a Solark inverter. I have a Magnum MS4448PAE that quit on me, about a year out of warranty. I'm pretty disappointed in the Magnum since its only 6 years old. I'm still off-grid at the moment and will be on-grid, eventually. Thanks for the videos!!
I would be happy to help. Since you are going to eventually connect to grid I would steer you toward a 15k Sol-ark. Send me an email and we will figure out what is best for your situation. [email protected]
@@engineer775 Thanks! I will reach out when the finances allow. I was planning on the 15k anyway so we are both thinking alike. I'm thinking more towards middle to end of summer and I should be able to swing it. Thanks again!!
Well ironical I last week I was looking into a similar project for my 48 volt buggy. I am live right up the hill in Zirconia NC. I am interesting if you are interested in another "filler Project" to up fit it?
