      @7sigmaoff-grid 18 годин тому

      Man....I'm still trying to find something I can remind myself about that'll make me feel better! I'm in that weird zone where I have a very basic understanding of what needs to be done, but I don't have the experience to do it properly (yet)...lol....If I don't over pay in labor, I over spend in materials, then realize after the fact that I could have spent less on materials...WTF...lol ! I know that I could have saved ALOT by using used oil pipes and uni-struts for the mounts, but I don't know how to weld, use an auger, or mold concrete...so I over spent on the Integra Racks because they're idiot proof. Retiring at 65 is now a fantasy...LOL

      @BillyBlaze7 17 годин тому

      @@7sigmaoff-grid Well I can guarantee lookin at your soil composition you saved yourself a TON of back breaking work with not putting in concrete footers. I wouldnt even waste money on an auger either because they dont do well in rocky soil and can end up breaking your wrist if you hit a large rock. I think you did the right thing going the way you did, trust me you saved a lot of aggravation and work be choosing the route you did. You will see what I mean when you start digging the pipe trenches lol. For future large leveling projects I would suggest finding a place you dont mind using the tractor to dig up some dirt from, getting a way to screen that soil, dump it where you need it then use the box blade to level it out. You can build a screen for the soil (youtube videos). Then you know when you start your project your ground is leveled out. I dont know how to weld yet either and have needed that skill more times than I can count, need to learn and buy a small welder myself. If you go to digging with your tractor you need to buy a Piranha bar to put on your loader bucket or you wont be getting much digging done. The loader bucket is only good for loose soil. Men don't get to retire lol

    • @7sigmaoff-grid

      @BillyBlaze7 That's why you are my guy Billy!!! Man...I was just looking at the Piranha Bar a few months back and put it on the to-get list! You just confirmed it for me sir...THANKS ! Today my son and I were scoping out places to dig for soil cause we are going to have to relocate the entire solar array area due to the ridiculous amounts of soil we would need to level it(and the shading from the pyramid mountain in the rear). We found a "relatively" flat area further north that won't require as much dirt to level the mounts. BUT...we will have to take out 3 more trees. You are going to have a good chuckle on the next video when you see how much pressure treated wood I would have had to stack under the back post just to level the mounts...LOL But I'm actually glad we have to move everything cause now we will get almost an extra 1 hour and a half of sun by moving everything 300 ft north and away from the mountain. It's a PITA not being here full-time to really see what's what..but today was a good day and we dodged a bullet by not finishing the build in the old location. But yeah...I 'll still need some soil so thanks for the heads up about the screen and piranha bar!!!! As always my brother....

      @@7sigmaoff-grid indeed brother, get you a set of good step bits because drilling the holes to mount the bar is tough going unless you have a good set of step bits, and use some blue locktite on the bolt threads. its a pretty easy job though installing it just make sure you measure the distance the amount they recommend, i missed that part when I ordered mine and they made it a little too wide. If memory serves you measure 5 inches inside the bucket as its a little more narrow where the holes are drilled. Lookin forward to the progress. Reach out if you ever get in a bind, if I can help i will gladly.

    I don't think you can use more than 20 panels total only 8kw input on that inverter Space the arrays 25 ft apart, order a mppt crimper with extra connectors, is there less shading farther north? Np you can do this easy , need help ask me. Solar pro by new year.

    • @7sigmaoff-grid
      @7sigmaoff-grid 4 дні тому

      Thanks Bob! Wasn't' sure how far apart the arrays should be. Chat GPT gave me 10 ft apart based upon our GPS coordinates...but I'm definitely going to go with your suggestion of 25ft instead. You are spot on... as we were going to see if we can go further north with the arrays this weekend. I'm not really liking the initial spot we've chosen after seeing how low the sun is currently(with the pyramid mountain directly behind us during winter solstice season). A beautiful piece of property, but not ideal for solar due to the large mountain ranges on our southern side(rookie mistake)...but we will have to supplement with generator and be aware of power usage during winter to offset the mountain obstruction. Hopefully we can move the arrays further north without having to take down a lot of trees...we'll see this weekend ! Thanks again sir for all of your help!!!!

Plus I find weed-wacking relaxing...LOL Yep, thats the plan... using the remainder of the rock(and purchasing more) for the driveway and around the home.

    That tractor is gonna come in handy moving that rock around. I built a garage last year and ordered 3 full 18 wheeler truck loads of road base and 2 18 wheeler truck loads of fill dirt (dirt with big rocks in it), to level my building surface because nothing on my property if flat. You will be amazed at how quickly the rock goes. I couldn't believe I needed as much as I did and it wasn't cheap. I still need another full load of road base for some project finishing around here, and need to order materials to build a tractor shelter. I really like building stuff though its rewarding to see something you built yourself go from nothing to something useful that increases your property value at the same time. You got a big job with the panels but I know you can do it.

    • @7sigmaoff-grid

      Yes sir...the tractor is getting a serious workout. Time for the 50 hour service once I sit down and order parts. Man..thats a lot of material you've been working with! Hurts my brain just to think how much you spent on 5 truckloads of material. Would love to see and learn from all the projects you've completed. Building that tractor shed sounds like fun! Yeah, this solar install is forcing me out of my comfort zone and that's a good thing! Thanks for the encouragement my brother...as always...really appreciate you man!!!!!!!!

    I’m not sure what size panels those are, but If you’re trying to stay under a certain voltage, I suspect you can go ahead and add those other 2 panels on each string. You can go over the voltage slightly on the strings because the panels will never put out their rated power. I.e. 3000w of panels will put out around 2500w or so on best days.

    • @7sigmaoff-grid
      @7sigmaoff-grid 8 днів тому

      Thanks for the tip! That's a great idea and definitely something we will be looking into! the panels are 420w and the inverter has 2 PV inputs of 4000w each totaling 8000w. Now if I fry my inverter, I'm going to say you made me do it...LOL. Just kidding Scott!

    • @ScottBalkum
      @ScottBalkum 8 днів тому

      @@7sigmaoff-grid Hahaha, you won’t fry it. I have the same inverter. Just try it this way, build it so you can add the other 4. Plug in your 11, find the sunniest day and laugh when the power comes in. Its what I did and I have bi-facial panels. On their best day, its still only about 90%. THEN…. You can blame me while you’re hooking up your extra panels. Also, if you look in your manual, you’ll see that it actually supports more voltage that stated, it just can’t use more voltage than stated. But, it all works out because you’ll be generating close to the maximum it can use anyway. “Ooooooh, that Scott!!!!!”
