@@piskai in Romania the price is anywhere between 900 to 1100 E per Kwp installed, multiply that with 130 Kwp of solar power installed, plus container, cabinets, DC fuses which costs a LOT . Probably we are talking here about 150 to 200k euros for this install
Mark, check out Andy at the Off-grid garage. Plenty of learning available there and I can guarantee your existing skills will bolster your ability to pick it up with little effort, and bam! you're in the game.
That...... is beautiful. I would give away my left nut to have that setup..... Not- because I need that much power, or three phase, but, the workmanship is outstanding.
I’d give my right nut, it keeps swelling up and causing trouble anyway. I was a Chief Electrical Technician in the submarine service, and that is some fine work!
I knew I recognized the voice, it's Juno from Journey with Juno! :) It's been about a year since the last vlog.. Nice to see your very professional work with Victron.
20 months to be exact! It's me alright! haha. Pleased to see you have moved over to watching Victron Energy vids - Molly even appears in the odd vid too! :-)
@@VictronEnergyBV You're doing a great job so youtube recommends I guess :) I knew you're with Victron somehow but had no idea it's a long term thingy. They did good working with you. Keep up the good stuff and maybe we'll see you again on the boat? :)
Top made, you find a lot of good engineering companies in Romania. I worked 6 years in Romania, a very beautiful country with many different places and faces!
This is how the energy transition works, very good project =) Thank you for showing us 👍 I wish people in germany had as much sense as you do. Unfortunately, it's always about profit here... that ruins everything. Greetings from Bavaria
Im an electrician & plan on installing a pv, battery & inverter so I dont have to rely on the grid. This is an out standing install & I will be using Victron for my project
Victron does seem to be the best for modularity within large scale projects but I feel like something like an Outback Skybox is far more practice for the everyday jo like you and I.
@@MrDingaling007 I mean I could be wrong.. SkyBox all in one systems costs ~$3,200 though. For a comparable system under Victron you need. 2x MultiPlus-II 3000's ~$1,285 each At least 1 Autotransformer ~$675 Then you have shunt(s), MPPT'(s), sub panels, communication modules, and other accessories. I also feel for the electrician who installs all this. Couple hours for a Skybox vs a couple days for Victron. That's assuming the utility & municipality even approve the designs for such a complicated system in a residential setting. In a boat or an RV where you can DIY the install without worrying about code and permits then yeah Victron all day!
@@user-dy9ux5dc6e Interesting thanks for sharing. Is the victron mutliplus the best comparison tho? I think there are some other Victron all in one options that could be a better comparison. Ill have to do some in-depth research.
Unusual to see such fine workmanship overseas, or over here in the US. You can never go wrong with branch fuses. Now look into rapid shut down systems like OUTBACK or Tigo a must to shut down all the power at the panels. This is what I do for a living.
Excellent and super professional install. Would love to have a system to these spec's. I love the big screen giving all the information as soon as you walk in the door.
Interessant ist lediglich wo die Grenzen des sinnvollen mit Victron sind. Mit Komponenten von SMA zB. hätte man sich 3/4 der Arbeit erspart. Und somit ein Haufen Geld.
Respect, this is the best installation i have seen online. I hope the team that accomplished this project shares there links we might need there services.
4:05 i like the LED Light hanging form the ceiling :D. But Victron Equipment is really a joy to work with. IMHO it has a perfect design, where no one cheaped out on components, so you get good reliablity and good efficiency, but it´s not "over the top" over engineered or to complex. Perfect Balance ;)..
Looks mike they attached it well. And LED lighting works well for the small amount of time anyone will be in there, and would use so little power. Win!
Now that's what I call a buss bar! Can I come work for you guys please. This makes my system with 2 multiplus and 3 charge controllers look like a toy.
Whoa. Thats one serious setup. Cost also pretty penny, that must be quarter million EUR at least. Solar panels are cheap, the blue boxes are not. Congrats to them kicking in the balls of local unreliable utility company.
I need like this mini grid for my home but small size 10kw. Your job is excellent very neat and clean cable termination ur work is latest high qualified job.
TBH, I love setups at this scale with NH fuses for DC applications :D If my battery arrives I too will use NH fuses as main protection (inside a Siemens NH Switch so it acts as fuse and 2 pole disconnect switch)
one of the corporations here in the midwest US installed a massive solar farm on their roof due to their local municipality concern that the growth of their industrial park's demand for power from the downstate Power Utlity will not be able to support their power needs in the summer months. Similar problem this furniture has although sounds like their Power problem is year round
I need a mini version of this system for my home here in Greece. The Grid here is sub standard and over 40years old. Many power outages no matter what time of the year. Looking to do at least 10KW of solar to handle five 5 9K btu, 1 18K BTu and at least 2 24K BTU spits with two smart refrigerators and a freezer. Only problem is that Greece has a 24 % vat tax so I will have to source my solar wisely from abroad. solar should carry a Ø tax price since we are trying to implement a neutral carbon footprint. politicians here are in bed with big oil so I doubt they will ever offer solar as tax free. They have been talking about taxing individuals off grid just to penalize them and put illegal money into the politicans pockets.
Yeap, energy IS a dirty business no matter what kind of system one is using. But like @Vizarei says, I think You are going to need more than 10 kW - unless You have an absolutely optimal charging all day long (10 kW is usually 25 400w solar panels)...and night too :). And on top of that big batteries. It will work as a complement to a well functioning grid to lower the bill, perhaps down to zero....but not for long as a constant/backup source. If your figures are right and my high school education has not left my brain, :) You are talking about at least 100k BTU (sounds A LOT) and 10 kW is only capable of appr. 35k BTU for 1 hour. That system will only save You for a short period of time. I will suggest at least 25-30 kW system or a downsizing of your consumption. We are talking about an investment of around at least US$ 800-1000 per kW here.....and perhaps even a diesel generator as a backup :(
It shouldn't for 2 reasons - that's a closed system, so there is no condensation, maybe only when the doors are closed from time to time and fresh air goes inside, and those bus bars are on 48V
5:08 Gotta love grafana! I participated in the young solar challenge which is a boat racing competition on solar energy in the Netherlands, we use VE MPPTs and BMV. We actually monitor our racing boat with grafana, running a raspberry pi that communicates with the devices via VE.Direct and then sends the information to a server
blown away, what a super clean install, great work from the fitters.
I agree with you so clean.

It’s hard to stop watching this video until the end, it is amazing!
Tell me about it - It's addictive isn't it! (and I edited it haha - Jono)
@@VictronEnergyBV please
Because it is action-packed without time-wasting fluff.
This looks like something that could be marketed as a modular prebuilt. The Shipping container is inspired.
around what money we talk about this prebuild can be?

I’m an electrician, and I feel I’m being left behind with all the advanced tech coming out. It’s definitely a young mans game now. Great video.
Simple subsystems to learn, complex only in whole system overviews.
How do we eat an elephant?
I "identify" as an electrician. Why would I pay you some astronomically high rate to come play with my new gear?
Never late to learn something new.
Mark, check out Andy at the Off-grid garage. Plenty of learning available there and I can guarantee your existing skills will bolster your ability to pick it up with little effort, and bam! you're in the game.
American electricians do what the did the last 50 years. There is no progress in the US. drill nuts, 1 phase 120 V. Time to evolve.
Glad to see businesses in my country are stepping up the game !
What a beautiful install. With that build quality, you could sell that as a modular system anywhere in the world.
how much ?
@@piskai a lot
That...... is beautiful. I would give away my left nut to have that setup..... Not- because I need that much power, or three phase, but, the workmanship is outstanding.
I think you would start to miss your left nut fairly soon !
@@stevelamperta865 But why? With one nut he could still perform I think?
@@jimjones7821 IDK , I'm pretty attached to mine . would you part with one of yours for something awesome in life ?

Superbly done by those lads. Love the fact the shipping container is blue too.
Absolutely amazing installation. Great admiration for Neosolar, distributor of Victron Energy products in the Czech Republic

That's the largest busbar I've seen since working with a Submarine Diesel :P
Very cool. In other words, the factory itself was contributing to the neighborhood grid failures and this fixed that too? Win-win.

@@hvacstudent967 They did look at the copper bussing with fuse blocks.
