Impressive Sir. Thank you very much for the great detail. It’s been a few years, may I ask if the system is still working well or do you have any new insights? Again thank you very much for this video. It’s been very inspiring.

I have watched several of you videos and when you have extra power you could charge some lifepo4 batteries. This guy uses some lifepo4 batteries to charge the lead acid in the night. ua-cam.com/video/_G-zXKkwT3w/v-deo.html I am not sure if this is the video where he talks about it. With the low self discharge with lifepo4 batteries you could have them charged for a much longer time than lead acid. Something to think about. I hope things are going well for you.

Could the hot air be pumped through a sand heat storage to make heat available later into the night?

I am VERY interested in building a pole mounted solar panel system much like your pole mount. I love your design. Do you have a list of materials, or plans? I would love to get a "Bill of Materials" and specific measurements, etc. How can I get these?

wow thank you so much looking at an off grid situation

Wat if u can put your sprayer back on there and cover up the pool and add a few bags of ice maybe it my cool down the panels

Ingenious, innovative, and independent of corporate grifters...love it!

Why wouldn't your cold intake come off the floor or lower on the wall where cold air naturally collects?

I'm thinking about a solar system for my house and was wondering if there is a way to wall mount solar panels but be able to tip them up more directly toward the sun. Thanks, Nice video!

Great video and great ideas. I'm in Northern Ontario with same snow challenges. Curious how the panels are mounted on the house. Do you mount a railing to the house or are panels mounted directly to the house? If you have a video on install, can you point me to which one. Many thanks.

I put an ultraclear glass 3 mm over a photovoltaic panel used as black surface. It works very well.

Good info! I am looking at getting a couple solar trackers for Maine. Maybe a low-voltage heating cable would help.

Thanks for sharing. Great information for consideration!

Thank you for sharing I live off grid as well and will borrow some of these ideas I do have a question on the charts that you're showing in terms of production what programs are you using so you can keep track of your production thank you

Hi Drew, was wondering how much concrete was used. Also what actuator was used to move the solar panels?. Thank you.

GREAT JOB! YOUR PROJECT REMINDS ME: 1. I WISH I HELD ONTO MY 12 FOOT HORIZON TO HORIZON SATELLITE 📡 DISH MOUNT, SO I COULD MODIFY THE MOUNT TO ACCOMMODATE 8 APTOS DNA 120 440 SOLAR PANELS, BECAUSE OUR POLE MOUNT IS STILL THERE. 2. THE STRENGTH OF THE APTOS ARE MIAMI-DADE COUNTY WIND 💨 LOAD CERTIFIED TO WITHSTAND UP TO 5400 Pa & WE HAVE ANNUAL HURRICANES 🌀 3. ALL THE BEST ON YOUR OFF GRID PROJECT!

God bless you all have enjoyed all your comments ...i am excited to try them. Good luck all of you...

I find your solar collectors amazing.. your approach is brilliant....I am wishing you the absolute best luck in your future endeavors.... I have a ? are you using a small 12volt fan and is it also being run on solar charged battery...very best of GOD BLESS......

Great video. First vid I’ve watched from you. We are moving off grid in the new year in a northern climate so this was helpful!!🎉

This is a great video thank you for sharing the information with us. I just have a question about the cold air flow pipe that leaves the home going back into the system. Shouldn't the cold air exit intake back close to the floor inside considering that is where normal cooler air is located in a home? Just asking.

😮 looks like you got a pretty good 💡 I think once you work the bugs out of it it will be great😊

What happens at night, when temperatures drop below -30 in winter? Aren't these a cold air refridgerator then

Cold air outlets need to be at lowest room line and hot air 75% room hight.

Why shouldnt the air enter the space to be heated at the bottom of the room so it can rise and geat? I dont understand the air entering and exiting the space at the same height seven feet off the ground.

First class... where is everyone? On Facfebook I expect... |Maybe it is because you are Canadian and the algorithm does not push that content? This is an old video to you... hope things are well... Keep on shining.

Is there a way to get in touch with you? thanks..

Thanks for the video. Having PV on a roof and in my field I agree with your idea of putting them on the house sides. In snow shed areas you just don't want panels on the roof, you'll lose a couple of months of energy production. With long summer days we always generate enough to run everything and keep the batteries charged but not in the winter with its short days.

Intake needs to be close to the floor. Cold air sinks

Ok, first thanks for your videos and explanations. 1. Burning wood makes 2.5x the GHG as does propane so why all the concern about LPG and not burning wood? 2. How do your solar air heaters work? Do you have to run a fan or are they convective? 3. I would certainly move to a lithium battery bank for the same amount of battery (I'm guessing 20kWh of which you can only use 50%) you would be able to use probably 17 or 18 kWh. So, you'd be able to go longer before having to run the generator saving the carbon. Also there is no maintenance or hazardous vapors etc. 4. What is your typical indoor temperature in the winter? 5. Do you have an ERV? If not, what about condensation and internal air quality? Again, thanks for your time. Henri.

In my on the grid home I use about 3kWh per day when we are away on vacation. This averages out to the fridge and freezer and not much else. A mean power if about 250W. At night, we might use 2 kWh in the summer and not much more in the winter as when we go to bed the home is ~18.5C and I've set the furnace to 14C overnight. Most mornings the temp is still 15+C so, our winter night use is not much different as the furnace almost never comes on. You say that you're down 20%, but I guess that would include the previous night's dinner, evening activities along with breakfast. If you can give energy in kWh rather than % it helps those of us comparing our situation with yours. How large is your battery bank in kWh? How far down do you let the discharge go? If you had LFE batteries you can run then down ~10% so it's almost 2 for 1 and they're maintenance free. I like your fridge and freezer switches. I didn't know they existed. On grid, they probably aren't worth it, but off-grid you're just trying to make through so the rational changes! Thanks for sharing.

Perhaps you will get to it, but your batteries appeared to be lead acid. If so, why would you not use lithium iron phosphate batteries? Why not heat with propane vs. wood stove? Burning wood produces 2.5 more GHG than does gas heating.

27° is damned cold where I come from. You talking fahrenheit or Celsius?

Thank you 4 this Video! U are Awesome Entrepreneur....👍🙏🔥

by any chance have you got any solar production data of your vertical (facade) panels? Do you have data stored on SMA or any other online service? would love to know winter production of your panels. I see the video is old but maybe i get your reply. Tnx

Nice video, thanks for a lot of information. I am in the process of building my own off-grid cabin, so it's time to wait all your videos! A question. What are you using to mount your solar panels to the house walls?

@ 7:54 "it was glorious.." I like that. The thoughts & explanation of why you went off grid are genuine & true. I mean sure the investment is costly but it's also energy independence. One other thing about panels on roofs I don't like is the extra heat that reduces efficiency in summer. I also understand some might not have a lot of space for ground mounts. One other note please don't take it personally, but that light purple/pink chair on the deck needs to go. Cheers.

Impressive video, thank you for the details. 👍

you should build to sell people will buy them.. I would buy one myself. I have a huge patio sliding glass door. I could prop one in the open sliding door and it would heat the biggest part of the home. of course they would need to be plug and play style for any size window or doorway.

Thank you ❤

Excellent job from South Africa

how is the wind up there?

Wow! First video i saw from You. Became a sub and I will further educate myself!

Would it be possible to see the close up view of your top of pole mount. I have looked at several mounts and like you feel that they do not fit my needs. My cabin is off grid, we get lots of snow ( > 5 ft), cold temperatures (-40 C), and lots of wind.

have you tried salt water dooe not freeze

Is it possible for your solar panels to drain your battery bank if there's no incoming sun, given that the panels themselves are 2 types of metal put together with some positive and negative charge together?

Awesome video. The albedo effect was long before before the evolution of the solar panel studied. It is a major player in heating up or cooling the global climate. Today dark surface increase on the planet, increasing the overhearing of the planet and the speeding up the greenhouse gas effect, since more energy is kept instead of reflected to space. However, burning most fuels do increase the greenhouse effect more. Solar panels is great. The world just need to stop adding other black surfaces, like more streets, cleared rockfaces and unfrozen seas. Awesome video btw.

I'm curious as to how many 6 inch holes the man has drilled into the walls of his house ?

Wish there was a kit a bit shorter and for only 8 panels with full documentation for such a mount, Manish tilt would be fine! What's the size range for the panels?

very impressive ty for the video insperational

Don't clean these panels quite often. Scratches will damage the efficiency in the long run.
