  • Solar power is getting more and more popular especially because the cost and technology are getting better. In today's video, we take a look at the skypod's battery-powered solar setup! Hopefully this gives you an idea of what it feels like to live with clean energy.

I think it's important to know that if you're capable to do something better and totally out of norm, though it costs us something, it always is not for our own convenience but also for the environment. I love this content, very raw, practical and straightforward!

      Do not be naive; Tremendous amount of mining minerals is needed for those batteries & some significant amount of minerals is needed in the production of those solar panels. Lithium, Graphite, aluminum, nickel. Even lead probably. There is a saying -" If you cannot plant it, you have to mine it". At the end of the lifecycle of those batteries and panels, they also have to be discarded properly.

Even though it is costly and has a slow ROI, the benefits to our environment are enormous.

Trick is use the electric devices at night, like what we did after Typhoon Odette hit us. I am still going to install a solar setup to our deep well water pump but these rainy days make me feel lazy to fully set it up. It has been rainy for days in Cebu.

Need to know how sturdy are they and what if it breaks? Will the warranty of ten years include it? Are the batteries readily available? Considering the constant technology improvements, should your installed panel and setup be the norm still at the time you need to change batteries? Just some queries I am having, hope u would answer please. Thanks and more power to your channel. God Bless

    Would like to ask if your family has ever experienced a brown/black out with the solar set up and how the transition was? Specifically at night if the house is being supplemented by the grid, are there electrical surges? Does the electricity close down for a few mins then comes back up? Or is it just a flickering in lights? Or do you not notice it at all?
    Also, if you have ever experienced using your generator along with or after using up the solar set up, what was that process like transitioning from solar power to generator power? :)

    Thanks for the solar power system education Mr. Slater Young. How about if you source a running water stream near by, maybe you could also try using hydro power off grid type source of electricity, the mechanism to be used should be safe from wood and other debri. It's a windmill type device run by water flow to generate electricity. Or how about trying a small windmill device just powered by the wind blow, I know its also used in Europe and America as a good source of clean power not to affect the environment.
    Those are all my suggestion my good man.

    The perfect setup for me is Hybrid - Grid Tied with just sufficient battery capacity to run the essentials during “lengthy” power failures plus a GenSet…. The focus of such a setup is to offset night time use of ACs with excess production fed back to the grid by day even with some ACS on. Unless a newer chemistry of LiION or LIPhos batteries are developed (that will last at least 10 years or 20K charge/discharge cycles - ROI will never ever be attractive for a full battery backed Solar Setup

Since the building has 3 Floors, Isn't it difficult especially for those people who are getting older to go up to the 2nd floor or go down to the basement using the stairs or is there another way to make it easier or convenient to the older future owners for those projects?

    in 2015 we had a DIY solar setup, a single 50 Watts Solar Panel, 2 Motolite Lead Acid Batteries, and a 500 Watts Inverter (@ only P9,500 over all cost including control panel, wires, woods, nails). It only powers our 10 bulbs, Internet Modem and for Phone Charging, operating it from 7pm to 5am. Our VECO Bill before was around P1,500+ (1Ref, 1TV, 4Fans, 1Washing Machine, 1Computer and a Laptop) then after using our solar setup we are billing around P900 to P1,000 (during daytime we try to charge phones/laptop/powerbanks on solar). Last 2020 the Solar Panel and Batteries reached its lifespan, we are now saving for a better setup.

      Hello, this caught my attention & maybe I can help with your question. Actually there are 2 types of electricity being produced, AC (alternating current) & DC (direct current) and they are 2 different things when supplied. In your question, batteries are supplied with DC & gensets produce AC so they have different type. Yes, it's possible but not efficient with additional converter (converting AC to DC) to the system. Since you'll be using it to power up appliances which is AC supplied, maybe it would be better if directly na lang siya sa appliances. Hope that I somehow helped 😁

      The most economical set up is grid tied without batteries. I have a grid tied 8kw system that cut my meralco bill from 20k per month to 4-5k per month. I have a stand by 20kva diesel generator for black outs and it runs all my appliances my entire load not just essentials. The cost of the solar was 410k and the cost of the generator was 370k, so it’s 780k not 2 million. So my ROI will be 4 years and 4 months not 10 years. Plus he’s not taking into account the added cost of replacing the batteries in 5-10 years. The battery technology right not doesn’t support that investment financially. Maybe In the future it will but right now you’re better off with a generator for back up during brown outs with ATS. The only reason to get a battery system in Philippines now is for the “green benefits “ to the planet. Not for ROI or economic benefits because financially it doesn’t make much sense with current technology

      @@bryanfuentes1452 net metering is a process whereby you export excess electricity to the grid and sell it back to meralco. It’s a long process, meralco needs to install a second meter and they sell you electricity at 11 php per kWh but only buy it from you at 5.5 (50%) but they do buy it from you at a 50% loss. It takes about 3-4 months to have net metering approval. It’s best to hire someone to do the legwork for you because you have to go to your barangay city hall multiple times and meralco so I just paid my solar installer to do it. But I consume most of what my home produces I export very little to the grid. Net metering is great when I travel and the house is unoccupied but when we’re home it doesn’t come into play much.

Ngayon kung mag dedetermine ka ng battery kailangan mo muna idistinguish yung mga load or appliances niyo na gusto niyo patakbuhin pag gagamitin niyo na yung battery. Pag day time tapos nagana solar panel niyo, pwede kayo hindi na mag isip kung ano papatakbuhin niyo kasi running naman yung solar niyo na nag aabsorb ng electricity at the same time nag ccharge yung battery niyo.
