One of the companies I priced for Solar panels was $65,000 for my home, It would take me 36 years to pay for that at the cost of what I pay for my light bill now.
Instead of conventional roofing material on carports, terraces, porches, etc substituting them for bifacial solar panels reduces general costs, reduces heat issues/adds to solar panel efficiency, is more pleasing esthetically etc.
I always that was a great Idea. I like having a covered backyard deck, rather than a crank out canvas awning I’d love to frame up a roof over it and use solar panels as the roofing material. Two birds with one stone.
@@jayson657 Exactly. I would try to set it up in a way allows the heat to escape, especially near the top even on bifacial panels because it does improve efficiency. They found vertically placed panels did surprisingly well for harvesting energy...
This really seems to cover a lot of the issues quite thoroughly. Maybe every home on the planet needs this if we really want to slow down climate change.
I would advise going battery for the simple fact that many states are trying to charge for the energy you use from your OWN solar. Go off grid as much as possible.
I remember at some point somebody saying that you could sell excess electricity back to the state... dunno how true that was, but definitely not true now.
Such an interesting video - I live in South Australia and 70% of the state’s electricity is from solar (and a HUGE amount comes from house mounted systems). I’d love to see something like Rewire Australia in my neighbourhood!!
Dear exploring alternatives, please consider adding the new super thank you tipping option on your videos, as I have occasionally enjoyed them so much that I wanted to tip you both for the helpful information! You guys are the best, keep the quality content coming!! Thanks!!
I'm so glad to see solar continue to improve. I hope to be fully or minimum 80% off grid some day. And I can't wait to see what kind of options there'll be 😆
I don't care much about selling my excess power, so I'd keep it simpler and cheaper to just run home stuff. Excess power can make hot water or power some winter heat.

Batteries are the most expensive part depending on your set up and how many panels you’ll need depending on where you live. They cost about $11k for a cheap rack that you do yourself. That is considered a good deal for lithium iron phosphate which will generally retain 80% capacity after 15 years. This gets you 30 kwh, which is what the average US household uses in a day. If you want to have 3 days of independent power, well, you’re looking at 30k. Most people would be fine with just having 30 kwh.
I just priced solar for my home. 12 panels was $15,000. And the battery was $16,000. The panels are warrantied for 25 years, and the battery is only for ten years.😮
I have been off grid for almost 15 years. My inverter has died twice due to lightning. A thousand dollar repair each time, leaving me at the mercy of a gen set while waiting for the repair to be done. My inverter does not come with a built in surge protector. If yours does not have one, then I recommend to install an after market unit. This is my biggest recommendation to anyone considering a solar system. My second recommendation is to go for a 48 volt system. The higher the voltage the better. Do your own research on batteries, as there are a lot of options out there and most being easily accessible.

We installed solar in 2018 which produces 105% of what we use yearly. We're in California and it's mandated that new buildings 4 stories or less are required renewable energy and by 2035, California wants EVERYONE producing renewable energy. Now, the 3 largest energy providers in the state (San Diego, Southern Calif, and PG&E) are trying to get California Utility District to allow them to raise the charge for being hooked up to them. We pay an average of $15 monthly for having the privilege of sending power back to the grid and the energy providers want that cost raised. Additionally, all three want the discounts and any other price-saving measures given to the customer to be eliminated. So, there has been an ongoing battle to have California PUD refuse to allow the big 3 providers to take more money from customers.
I would do more than 100% because we now have electric cars and a lot of home appliances can be electric only like a heat pump instead of natural gas to worm up your house or electric oven and stoves etc.
My biggest concern is hail. I am on my 3rd roof in the past 4.5 years due to hailstorms. The solar power firms claim they will withstand hail, but recent pictures of most of a solar farm destroyed by hail has me questioning it.
One of the companies I priced for Solar panels was $65,000 for my home, It would take me 36 years to pay for that at the cost of what I pay for my light bill now.
@Eric-ii9ce I have a 2,000 sq. ft home, all living area, all electric, my light bill is less than one hundred a month year round, I have a timer on my hot water tank and power strips on all appliances, including microwave, TV, and all such as this, I turn them off when not in use. I have a high efficiency central unit, My brothers home is around 1,400 sq. ft. his light bill is almost $400 a month. I keep trying to help him set his home up like mine but I guess he likes spending money.
Sounds like these "solar panels" and so on are more FOR RICH PEOPLE. You buy all that stuff out of your pocket, you have to make sure that you got LANDS to put the solar and PAY EVERYTHING.
@@SCH292 We live in a Hurricane zone, we get them every 5-7 years, I realized there is no way it's feasible at the prices they charge and a storm wiping them out every time.
That’s like saying that you won’t buy a house because it will take you X amount of time to purchase it. There are purchasing options that offer no money down. But it doesn’t make sense then it doesn’t make sense
@@sailising8832 It doesn't make sense, to purchase them when the payments for the panels are more than 2 1/2 to 3 times more than what my light bill is.
How do you mitigate the potential losses due to hail and severe storms. Do we have motorised racking systems with metal base that can flip panels to avoid potential losses?
Reducing power bills is so much wiser than investing 50k or far more into a good solar system. Most average sized homes that are well insulated and have some modern tweaks for extra energy savings can result in $60 - $100 per month electric bills. How many months of electric bills would the cost of a nice solar system pay for? $50,000/100/12 equals 40 years of grid electric bills. Considering that you’ll be replacing the solar system long before that the grid wins again. You just have to know how to use energy wisely and how to make your home more efficient. Granted that an offgrid situation is different. Where my cabin is located it would cost $100k to get grid power to it…so solar system wins.
When I’ve looked into solar, I’ve gotten pressured to let the installer own the panels, but use my roof. That’s a deal breaker for me. Does any company sell a solar and battery system that the customer owns 100%?
Twenty bucks worth a solar lights, Arduino, And then just a few supplies off a amazon such as wire. You can run ambient lighting in your house for ten years off of twenty bucks.
Cost? Solar is very expensive. Batteries are very expensive and have a certain life span. You all are crazy rich. What happens when a hail storm comes along and destroys the panel? Ground mounts take up a lot of space and are an eyesore, ruining the landscape.
I would do more than 100% because we now have electric cars and a lot of home appliances can be electric only like a heat pump instead of natural gas to worm up your house or electric oven and stoves etc.

In texas, solar is a scam. The electric companies dont do 1:1 net metering. You end up paying transmission fees, AND they dont give you full price. So unless you do FULL home back up with batteries that will cover 130% of your usage than solar in texas is not financially a good idea.
i have one side solar for maybe 18 hours a day in summer and I dont se the other side lol.... it works good... maybe I should put good wind powers lol to get more power out of it...
No one is talking about the additional cost to remove and replace the panels when the roof needs to be replaced do to age. 90% of people ditch the panels when the realize that they have to find a third party company (which don't exist ) to remove and replace the panels. The roofers won't touch them and the solar panel companies will only install new systems. That is the cold hard solar truth that no one want to talk about. Sorry.
Excellent. For decades I thought that it was a fantastic idea although I've never done it. Only the last few days I realized that it's a very bad idea as drilling into a good roof will only bring problems. If they simply mounted into the roof deck, not the rafters, then it's only a matter of time before water will get in. It's OK to have the panels in the yard on some type of a stand but I'd never put them on my roof. Leave the roof alone!
the power company will just charge you more money every year if you have solar panels . because the power company don't like to loses money ..the poor people will pay more because they can't afford solar
Could you explain why California utilities are charging home owners to have solar connected to the grid? Stories are circulating of getting to the end of the year and finding out there's a bill for thousands of dollars. Please balance your reporting with the downsides of owning the solar panels too, please.
... This channel is about alternative living solutions. Made by a couple from Canada. Yes, they travel around and outside of Canada, but asking them to report on the state of one specific State's infrastructure is beyond ridiculous. Also, wow, that's a bold claim. Source?
Only way I would go solar is two ways I can pay for it up front, or it's buried into the home price. Both are still astronomical prices.. Otherwise solar panels are a joke. Before solar your bill maybe $150 (thanks Biden) After solar your bill maybe $15 ..... But panel leases/rent $375... I see no savings
Oh Lord Stay Away From Solar Panels, they don't give you what you need as you'll see below & very expensive. I live in Sunny SE Texas & my Buddy had his roof covered with Panels! He (He & Wife only) had to pay $315 a month for 30yrs for the system & still had to buy electricity from the grid!! My neighbor got a quote & it was around the same cost for a doublewide manufacturer home. Hell no, it's not worth it. Especially if you have a $170 electric bill. Your adding Debt for No Reason. If that home burns down? Like my Buddies did, insurance didn't cover those Panels. Now you're stuck with that debt.
People are fools to connect to the grid, without a way to (disconnect) go off grid when the main grid power goes out! With all the talk about a grid collapsing, why would you only connect to the grid? That means when the grid goes down, your system goes down with it! 🙈
That's a rather harsh and judgemental statement. It's not usually that people connect to the grid, rather they live in buildings that are already connected. I don't know what you expect from people who rent, which is a lot of flippin' people. The downsides of the grid are numerous. But there are some downsides to alternatives, too. The upfront cost probably being the biggest. But there's also the chance that something can go wrong and repairs would likely be expensive. I would personally advice anyone who switches to solar and/or wind to take lessons on them, so they'll be better informed and better prepared for potential problems.
@@bleh329 Not when you realize that we’ve had the ability to replace fossil fuels since 1954! The energy companies are crooks, they don’t want anybody to be self-sufficient. And they’re willing to put you in prison, buy you out or take you out!
The control unit switches the grid off. Emergency whole-house generator systems monitor the grid and disconnect when the grid goes down. So your stated problem can be solved.
Thank you Maypower2029- great work . I have seen the same saving over the past few months we have had solar panels on our roof which you helped me install when i was recommended by you on the comment section (43 panels). Last year we had $300 in electricity bills - that's it! Maypower2029 is great!

I guess you haven’t heard about the WEF plans! Good luck

Not when you realize that we’ve had the ability to replace fossil fuels since 1954! The energy companies are crooks, they don’t want anybody to be self-sufficient. And they’re willing to put you in prison, buy you out or take you out!
The control unit switches the grid off. Emergency whole-house generator systems monitor the grid and disconnect when the grid goes down. So your stated problem can be solved.
I know this topic very well. Sorry but I wouldn’t say this was a good presentation for beginners. It would leave them kind of lost.
Agreed, I installed a few systems well before the grid started its move to sway the citizens into believing the grid view.
Might be nice of you to explain how or why, then. And also to link to a resource you think is more helpful.
@@bleh329 I hope you got my reply before it disappeared.
@@bleh329 that’s why I don’t link anymore.
@@iteerrex8166 No, sorry. It's gone 🙁
Thank you Maypower2029- great work . I have seen the same saving over the past few months we have had solar panels on our roof which you helped me install when i was recommended by you on the comment section (43 panels). Last year we had $300 in electricity bills - that's it! Maypower2029 is great!
I Would Like a Solar Panels if it helps with Bills and Stuff!🪟☀💵💵😁
