Tips. If you are handy, DIY will save you a fortune. Buy used panels for a fraction of the cost of new. I have 20 panels from Santan Solar. 10 are 370w, and 10 are 330w. I paid $100. each for the 370w, and $90. each for the 330w panels. I also have 20.4kWh of LiPo4 batteries. A mix of Zooms, Redodo, Ampere Time, and Chins. All bought on Amazon for under $320. each. Currently you can buy the Redodo batteries for $290. each. I have a 48v system so I bought them 4 at a time as I could afford it and when they were on sale. They are all made by the same manufacturer, Enjoybot and two years into it they still preform perfectly fine. I expect my ROI to be 7 years although the utility company has raised the rates 3 times so in reality the ROI is less than 7 years.
In my state not so far away there's also wind and solar it's a company on highway 10 in Wisconsin in between Waupaca and Stevens point in the spring I'm probably going to go up there and see what this solar panels cost and I'm probably going to buy them and then I'm going to bring him home from there.
How do you maximize your Prophets one is by buying your own solar panels two is by putting you on solar panels up three is but hooking your solar panels to a chargers to hook to your batteries that you buy four is hooking it to your fuse box after you hook it to an inverter for running your house just don't forget to get the building permit of the electrical part and electrical permit an electric company cuz they would have to inspect it so you can sell electricity to them that's how you save money make it cost less. But I suppose you guys go with the option of hiring someone to put the solar panels on your roof and buying it from them and buying inverters and buying the batteries and having them hook it up to electric company getting all that themselves for you which cost a heck of a lot more.
You make it sound simple, but most people aren't born with a toolkit in their hands. It’s hard to get panels on the roof for someone who has never done it before. You drop a panel - it’s on you. Not to mention the hassle of getting the permits. If you aren’t an electrician, it’s unlikely that your system will pass an inspection on the first try.
I tell you the cost of electricity an average about 145 bucks a month and with batteries and solar you just tracked 145 dollars a month for every time for every month you have the batteries running your house with the solar panels and that's one one thing he also got to subtract when you're selling electricity to electric company plus the money they give you for selling them for electricity that you selling them at the great day I'll pay you which I thought it was eight cents some years ago and now I find out it's 14 cents for a kilowatt of power and I was going to do it all off from 8 cents figuring but this sounds a little better with 14 cents cuz it means I'd make a little bit more money.
Net metering programs aren’t equal across the country. Some utilities are just not going to buy solar power from you. But if they are, it’s great, and I’m glad that found a good deal with yours, gratz!
Excuse me but you can buy UL listed BESS equipment today for less than $270/kWh. Anywhere that they have time of use rates? Batteries make a huge amount of sense. Spending the $3-5k to add 10-15kwh can save you a lot more money. Secondly Canadian Solar? Is made in China. Not Canada. Its just a Canadian importer who is branding a Chinese product and being given special privileges by the Canadian government. All other Chinese solar imports into Canada are subject to a 300% import tariff, while Canadian solar pays 80% import tariff. That is why Canadian Solar's primary market is the US. They do not have that tariff when they are importing into the US directly The way the laws have been written is keeping solar pricing artificially high in Canada.
When someone tells you solar panels will last you 25 years well if you keep them clean if you check the wiring and stuff like that keep everything up the good well let's just say my 35-year-old solar panels are still kicking out the ones that they told me to kick out when I first got the solar panels today they're still kicking out the solar panels that they made 35 years ago oops that was a mistake I shouldn't have told you that they don't want you to know that solar panels come last longer if you take care of them. Yeah I seem to clean my solar panels every time it rains keep the efficiency to 100% to whatever they said their percentage weight is. Of course sometimes the solar panels can be damaged but that is usually in the warranty time though usually happens if they ship it to you and never replace that or when it is put up and they'll replace that if they're putting it up of course if you put it up you're probably a little bit more careful what you're doing when you buy yourself gold and gold to put it up to make electricity yes I just referred you solar panels as if it was like a treasure because it actually really is if it's making electricity and also possibly making you money or could make your money. Of course I'm not going to put solar panels on my house someone else is going to do that and hook up all my solar panels together or maybe not together all in different lines to their own inverters to their own batteries to the power of the house and into the grid with a permit from one place and probably electrical permit from the other place just so you can have electrician hook up everything the way supposed to be hooked up. I'm ain't no some electrical situations but I'm no electrician so I'm not going to try to hook things up to the electric company and I would have someone else to do that for me but I don't mind hook my own house up to electricity but I want to make sure that's right too so I'll get electrician for that. And yes I'm putting your own loans up and I'm putting solar panels on it and I'm buying more solar panels for ground mounts and eventually I'm going to hire some more company to put solar panels on my roof and hook those solar panels and hook up the solar panels on ground mounts for a lot of power that I could use in a lot of power and electric company could buy from me of course if the electric company ever comes over that said that they're going to put solar panels on my house ever comes over and does that while I'm waiting for them to come over to do that I keep buying solar panels I'm putting it on my ground mounts they're just going to have to hook up all that with what they're going to put up I get impatient thirsty when they told me they're going to come over in the summertime and it's already the next year they give me a call and tell me they're real busy and they'll be in up in the fall and yet they're not here in the fall and I've been buying solar panels All Summer Long putting them on ground mounts they're going to have to put solar panels on the roof and that's what they're going to sell me which I already know what it is it's 405 Watts solar panels so I know the hook up my 405 watts of panels I bought and I know the hook up the other solar panels I bought but they're not going to put those in there because they're already on ground mounts yes I get impatient when I can buy some of my own solar panels to put up on ground mounts especially when I got plenty of place to put it yet especially when I'm going to be putting 10 ft wide 18 ft long solar panels in the front of my yard I already that big but I'm going to take it into the neighbor's yard had granite these are 3,400 watt solar panels each got 28 of them coming it's a matter to win my friend is not busy to actually bring them over since I already got them and I'll be sometime in the snowy winter.
Panels do last long! especially today. older models aged faster. it's just that warranties last for up to 25 years usually. glad to hear that your 35-year panels are still kicking.
You claim on average payback is less than 8 years. Is that only true with incentives because even with incentives in my area my quotes all were 15 year plus, without batteries.
True, the payback period is usually calculated with incentives in mind, and it's also true that in some states it can be long. It can be shorter than 8 years in other places though.
@@CastleKnight7 Because I work away from home I'd have to include batteries large enough to charge a vehicle in that case, and that would be tens of thousands of dollars. We don't have time of day rates on electricity here so batteries can't really save money and are just a large expense.

Don't add batteries if you don't need them I mean you know it's only going to cost you money to get the electric that you sell to the electric company back to your house again so if you buy batteries you don't have to worry about paying electric company for some power that you sold them before cuz that sell it to your exact same price they've been selling electricity to you for the last 10 years so when night comes you have to pay for electricity but if he had batteries you don't have to worry about that much because your batteries with supplement to power you're using at night and in cloudy days when you're solar panels not making enough power yes it cost a little bit more and it takes a little bit more to get paid back that way but if you don't ever have to pay electric bill that's how much money you're saving each month plus if electric company is paying you for excess amount of more power you get that much more money which pretty much doubles the cost cuz of the pain as much as you were paying for electrical the electric that means that you're getting whatever you paid for it and plus whatever they're giving you back on it for selling electricity to them and it's not just what they like to come because it's what you don't have to pay what you had to pay before like me some years ago I was paying $135 a month for electricity I hooked up a few solar panels then hook it up to electric company and I didn't hook it up to the house but hooked it up to some things in the house which was no longer hooked up with electric company and I was born with what I was using so I started unplugging my microwave you know things like that and then I was only paying $35 a month saving a hundred bucks a month and I'll actuality it was 145 bucks a month and I was only paying $35 after that that was $110 save each month every month for 35 years save up all that money that's a big amount of money to buy a real set of solar panels when solar panels get cheap like they are today and I'm still using those solar panels and they still run with their tended to run.
uhhh, electric companies don't always pay you at the same rate at which you buy the electricity from them. and they all have different policies on how exactly they buy it. Yes, a battery helps save money the way that you describe but it's not profitable in every single situation
Well what is a normal Bill well let me see a normal bill would be $145 a month just for having electricity to run your house of course if you own a farm it would be a little bit more probably because the welder and other things like that but I suppose I could have just asked my brother what the monthly bill is it's probably more like 350 bucks each month so yeah you can figure out what the savings would be and what you actually make by having your own power on an off-grid system for not hacks you have an electric system that connected to your house so yeah I'm saving an awful lot of money this year not having an electric company have their power on at my house.
yeah, the bill of a farm will definitely be different from a typical house. we don't take farms into account here, though solar panels are great to use on ranches and things like that
That's why I have batteries because if there's a power outage well I still have my batteries and it's still part of my house and nothing goes to electric company and no big deal you just pop a switch to make sure nothing goes to the electric company of course the invertis catch that too and understands all that and starts drawing power from the batteries instead of selling to electric company and just fills up the batteries instead of sending the electric company and sends everything at the house and not the electric company and you still have power that's the only reason why I have power special when it gets like 30 below zero and all the power in a city goes out and then cops have to stop at people's places to find out if they're okay why the power is out to make sure that the people are going to be okay so they don't have to go to the hospital like they did in the past yeah I have batteries just because of that reason I don't want to have to go to the hospital or go to the more because power goes out when it's 30 40 below zero at 63 negative negative wind chill I've seen my neighbors get caught cops visiting them several different times and seven different years because of power go on out and in this century yet too so and it's only been 22 years and two or three times a year we lose power in the middle of the winter it's not so bad when you lose power in the summertime cuz you know why that is when you have a fire up by the lake 2 miles down the road actually I think it's four miles away and they have a firehouse burning or something like that we lose our power but they keep their power don't know why that is you think they'll lose their power and we wouldn't lose our power especially our power is coming not directly from that far away but that's only in summertime that's no big deal but that's why I still have power when nobody else loses power and that's why I like my batteries of course when I need to get more batteries I'm going to have to get some real batteries something that's UL certified to the electric company bit more costly I mean people do want trillions of dollars in a day's time so they overcharge them they're so it's only 348 a kilowatt while I buy one kilowatt for $94 and 6 KW for about 500 bucks or something like that I'm not going to pay $1,400 or $3,000 for 5 kilowatt box when I could buy it 494 and just buy five of them or I can buy 30 of them for the cost by 5 KW box and then the cabin 30 KW and batteries then for the price of one 5 kilowatt battery. So yeah those battery companies are overcharging for their batteries cuz they want to get rich quick I don't get it I know it don't cost them that much to make it but they got to make 5,000% of money and what they sell and I don't know why they're just overcharging for what they're selling even when I end up have to buy something like that I know I'm overpaying for it because it just seems to be very very costly and baddies would never supposed to be when batteries are never supposed to cost that much yes people are actually asking to get rich quick and they're overcharged for something just to make it happen especially for the cost of what it takes to make them and if they're buying the stuff from China and China makes it very easily a few dollars I don't think they're raising a price that much to sell it to United States for the United States to sell their batteries it seems more like a mafia kind of thing and yet people think it's kind of like normal and it's right and I actually it's more like a mafia kind of thing or something like that.
see, it works in your situation: batteries seem to really help because of outages and all. and it's a good thing that you bought them. but I guess if the grid was stable and winters were warm, they wouldn't be such a necessity.
Yeah go with a good-known Chinese company order through wish or Amazon and never received your solar panels like the 33 150 watt solar panels I bought from Amazon but at least Amazon did give me my money back or the 16 780 Watts about your wish and never got the solar panels or the money back or you could even buy it directly from a company at a really low price and never received it cuz you don't know how to pay the what it is from going from one country to another country how to pay that tariff tax and they're always trying to call you a business or a police department or prison or school and not a residential home have a hard time receiving stuff from China don't I I know I'm still waiting for the 16 of the 780 watt solar panels come to my house I ordered in 2020 March 2nd.
Ooh, feels bad. Chinese panels are good, but you have to find a way to get them. That’s why it makes sense to buy them from a shop in the US since they already went through the trouble of bringing them into a country.
You must not be very popular which is a crying shame because you did have some good points but also some very bad points the cost of solar panels is the cost of solar panels and most people cannot afford them and if they try and they can't pay it back a year later they tear it off their house and you still have to pay them that money rich people like you should try to get poor people to get solar panels when they can't afford it unless they can find it and affordable place I'll tell you one affordable place I go to Walmart apps and I've been buying 100 Watts solar panels this year I don't like 100 w solar panels I hate them actually they're too small but if I get three more sets of 18 solar panels of 100 watt solar panels it might be enough to power my house but I do like my 400 watts solar panels I got those through Menards they were expensive I can't keep buying those and I work at a middle class job.
100 watt panels are indeed terrible for powering a home. and it’s a totally different market from rigid panels. I might be mistaken but the cost per watt of 100 watt panels is usually worse than it is with 400-watt panels. so I think it really makes sense to save some money first and then go for bigger modules. You do you, but if you want, check out our store, our prices for panels are pretty competitive.
Tips. If you are handy, DIY will save you a fortune.
Buy used panels for a fraction of the cost of new. I have 20 panels from Santan Solar. 10 are 370w, and 10 are 330w. I paid $100. each for the 370w, and $90. each for the 330w panels.
I also have 20.4kWh of LiPo4 batteries. A mix of Zooms, Redodo, Ampere Time, and Chins. All bought on Amazon for under $320. each. Currently you can buy the Redodo batteries for $290. each. I have a 48v system so I bought them 4 at a time as I could afford it and when they were on sale. They are all made by the same manufacturer, Enjoybot and two years into it they still preform perfectly fine.
I expect my ROI to be 7 years although the utility company has raised the rates 3 times so in reality the ROI is less than 7 years.
I agree the way to save money going solar is to do it yourself.
In my state not so far away there's also wind and solar it's a company on highway 10 in Wisconsin in between Waupaca and Stevens point in the spring I'm probably going to go up there and see what this solar panels cost and I'm probably going to buy them and then I'm going to bring him home from there.
Good, tell us later how it went

How about when you include fuel saving costs by charging an electric car from solar?
@@CastleKnight7 Because I work away from home I'd have to include batteries large enough to charge a vehicle in that case, and that would be tens of thousands of dollars. We don't have time of day rates on electricity here so batteries can't really save money and are just a large expense.

Yeah go with a good-known Chinese company order through wish or Amazon and never received your solar panels like the 33 150 watt solar panels I bought from Amazon but at least Amazon did give me my money back or the 16 780 Watts about your wish and never got the solar panels or the money back or you could even buy it directly from a company at a really low price and never received it cuz you don't know how to pay the what it is from going from one country to another country how to pay that tariff tax and they're always trying to call you a business or a police department or prison or school and not a residential home have a hard time receiving stuff from China don't I I know I'm still waiting for the 16 of the 780 watt solar panels come to my house I ordered in 2020 March 2nd.
Ooh, feels bad. Chinese panels are good, but you have to find a way to get them. That’s why it makes sense to buy them from a shop in the US since they already went through the trouble of bringing them into a country.
You must not be very popular which is a crying shame because you did have some good points but also some very bad points the cost of solar panels is the cost of solar panels and most people cannot afford them and if they try and they can't pay it back a year later they tear it off their house and you still have to pay them that money rich people like you should try to get poor people to get solar panels when they can't afford it unless they can find it and affordable place I'll tell you one affordable place I go to Walmart apps and I've been buying 100 Watts solar panels this year I don't like 100 w solar panels I hate them actually they're too small but if I get three more sets of 18 solar panels of 100 watt solar panels it might be enough to power my house but I do like my 400 watts solar panels I got those through Menards they were expensive I can't keep buying those and I work at a middle class job.
100 watt panels are indeed terrible for powering a home. and it’s a totally different market from rigid panels. I might be mistaken but the cost per watt of 100 watt panels is usually worse than it is with 400-watt panels. so I think it really makes sense to save some money first and then go for bigger modules. You do you, but if you want, check out our store, our prices for panels are pretty competitive.
