Solar is the way to go. I was discussing this recently with my husband. I told him in the near future I see our home 100% solar powered. Thanks for sharing.
Recommend that u also do further studies..because if it was that great ..why wouldn’t more people have it 🤔 why is it only in “certain” neighborhoods.. I pay about $200 a month on electricity..and rather keep it this way .. no to solar panels/solar system
This is brilliant and the only way to compete with JPS. There has to be a clause in the contract that the government signed with JPS, stating that no other electrical company can operate on the island. Every hill, valley, street, lane and corner in Jamaica should have solar power. The sunshine is free and abundant. Thanks for showing that this is something that the everyday person can do. For those who really can't, I think will pay you. I would suggest that, if you haven't done so as yet, get whatever license you need, open a business to provide installation services and also teach others how to do their own installation. Delprat family, you give hope to Jamaicans to say, "yes we can". Thank you.
I think these govt don't like the ppl how a monopoly you give them such contracts for so long......then legislation don't allow the average person to benefit. Just like in Barbados cap the kWh at 5.
Great ideas for sure💯Jps has a monopoly on the provision of electricity. This man has shown how it is possible to go off grid. If enough of us seek to achieve this example Jps will have no alternative other than to put customers first by capping the kWh. Right now it seems like their main priority is enriching their greedy stakeholders, who are mainly non Jamaican!!!i
Hello Delpratt Fam Everyone in Jamaica 🇯🇲 should be on this solar system. In the beginning it appears expensive but in the long run, it's more economical. This guy is ahead of most people down there. People in the Islands should be paying so much for electricity period. Great 👍video. Blessings 🙌
This is excellent. He should start up some classes and or channel informing ppl how to go about this off the grid experience since the government is not helping. I don't know why Jamaica would sell out their electricity to Korea and Japan and now the Jamaican ppl suffering from high cost... Complete madness. No wonder ppl thief electricity and you can't blame them...Nice video. Thanks for the info...
Your channel is getting better and better every day. The metrics is the amount of comments you garner. Keep up with the excellent content. Love that you are operating as a family -- always love your son's cameos.
I really like the husband and wife duo, it takes a lot of communication to do something of this nature. One love from Dutch Caribbean Island of St.Maarten
So proud of him. I am right behind him. Thank you guys for the content. You need to do more videos like this on diy solar in jamaica. Great stuff great inspiration
Renaldo a gwaan wit tings! Very smart, hats off to you for being so innovative. I'm a mopar guy but this gas bill is high so I wouldn't mind an electric car right now.
Very well done! I started with one small panel and an old car battery, now my lights and other appliances run on solar. By next year this time i should be fully solar.
Renaldo could have a tutorial channel or segment. This is the type of education we need. Ps. Didn't know Flexispot was available in Jamaica! They are on my wish list😍 A lot of Art and craft youtubers have done sponsorships with them. Nb. just a tip, if you can, blur out the license plates for safety purposes.
I love how they call it a solar system. I get exactly what they mean but it also sounds like the bigger solar system too. haha Just a suggestion for the famers looking to do solar panel systems. Make a pergola to mount the solar panels on top of. They will provide some shading through the day to aid against plants and herbs getting too much exposure to the sun, plus they will be located in a great area to capture the suns rays. A pergola if you do not know it basically an outdoor shaded structure with typically planks spaced a foot to foot and a half apart. They allow the sun to pass as well as provide some shading. The spacing can be adjusted to get the correct amount of sun coverage and shading. Additionally one could also install some greenhouse plastics in between the openings to capture rainwater. Simply install them slanted downwards like a V from the side profile and use a PVC pipe or other to run the water captured to a rain barrel. Now you also can collect rainwater for your plants and herbs. This obviously requires more work but can also yield more prosperity in the long run. This too could be paid for, built and installed in segments, or even perhaps as a collective effort among neighbors or a block project.
The cost of living is very high everywhere, so for those people who are leaving Jamaica because of the increasing cost of living, they will be in for a big surprise. And by the way, stop the negative sentiments about Jamaica on social media. Jamaica is no different from most other places so no need to be constantly bashing your homeland. Jamaicans are the only content creators that I see that constantly air negative sentiments about their country. Others, no matter how bad their countries are you would never hear them say it on social media, instead, they proudly extoll the best features of their countries for the world to see. Now that said, this young man is amazing. He is a genius. May he continue to exceed at everything he does. He is a great role model for Jamaican youth. Good content..
Tricia, I agree to disagree. We need to expose the wrongs and glorify the right. This is why the world is in shambles. If we constantly only paint a picture of perfection, then how will we get an honest evaluation? Both good and bad needs to be highlighted, but constructively. Unfortunately, our leaders seem to think that all is going well, and keep fooling the public, especially around election time. Yet the country is experiencing a major brain drain, and no positive, intelligent, solutions are being tabled. We need to wake up from our delusional state, and start rectifying problems!! Energy cost is THE MAJOR cancer in Jamaica. It inhibits overall productivity and cripples the society. Majority of a person's earnings are spent on supporting JPS, due to the negligence and incompetence of present and past government. Jamaica has enough natural resources available, FREE, to enable us to live 90%-100% off grid !! We are blessed with sun, wind, and water; 3 FREE energy sources. Instead of investing in the production of energy farms, we are building highways that are only taking us nowhere fast. Local roads are still crappy, and very dangerous to drive on, let alone walk on, at night, because of lack of street lights (which should be solar powered already)!! So, put the country on blast for the wrong. Hold the government accountable. That's why they were voted in, unless we are just lost sheep that go wherever the blind shepherd takes us. We cannot keep turning a blind eye!! MI DONE TALK. BLESSINGS 🙏🏾.
Thank the criminals stealing the electricity. Theft is a major component as to why our electric cost are amongst the highest in the world. The honest man and woman ends up paying because the thieves pay nothing.
I'm excited that you 've decided to touch on this topic. Is he open to share the online companies he purchased batteries and the inverter system through?
Mr and Mrs Delpratt, greetings that was a very good piece of information handed out to the public from I came to learn about solar energy I told myself that if I should own another house in Jamaica that's the way I would go, respect to Mr Renaldo and his God given talent God bless you and your family Mr and Mrs Delpratt keep up the good work. Blessings
Renaldo is the perfect example not just for jamaica but for the entire region where poor people ah leave hand to mouth,Big respect to uno pon dat post,Great info, Big up.
This homeowner is commendable and inspires me to get a Nissan Leaf. On the other hand, why do an interview with someone if you are going to speak more than the person and supply most of the information? I was hoping he would at least give a tour of his solar system and talk a little more about it.
Of all the videos I’ve wanted from you guys this is by far my favorite. I’m in Boston Massachusetts and want to come back home to live during the winter months. I was planning on calling a few solar companies in JA to get some quotes. This video changed that. Now I’m thinking about importing it in the country instead. Big up Ronaldo and thanks for making this video
Good video. Thanks for sharing. Was hoping to hear more about the solar system components and overall cost, but more focus was on the car. One thing you said was very accurate; the solar system installation companies in Jamaica are overcharging customers, which deters them from acquiring a system. That is a shame!! I have had similar experiences, and told them that if the cost of the system does not equate to a savings within a 3 year span, it doesn't make sense for me to switch. 🤷🏾♂️. We need to stop being greedy, and start helping each other to progress. No man is an island.
I’m sharing this with all my Jamaica friends and family I have a 2012 Nissan Leaf here in the states and I’m saving if you can make more of these videos please do to educate Jamaicans it’s needed for a cleaner better future.
Love the video, but question, how long does the car battery last before you have to buy a new one, secondly how long do the batteries last in the solar panel set up and cost to replace both
It would be helpful, to post the brand and web links for the brands he used. Maybe the links can be added here. 😊 The inverter The charge controller The solar panel The batteries Thanks, just found your channel.
You guys are informative and very much relatable in how you present your material. But this episode was one that knock it out de park.....big the boss for his bold step to bet on himself and to be winning!!!! Kudos to him ..... and likewise you guys (Dp-crew) awesome content.
I live in the Seattle area and we just got solar on our house. But solar up here is not really financially viable for most people because we don't get much sun. But in Jamaica?!? Man if the world was set up different, everybody in areas like this would have solar. Every roof in Jamaica should be covered in solar panels. But because of how world markets work, it's not really possible right now.
This is our future. I'm American and buying my home.The government is paying homeowners monthly when they go solar and will install it free. Thanks for the information and now I want to check to see if it's in my area to qualify for those great benefits. Electric vehicles are all over the states including charging ports. I'm glad to see it's in Jamaica and you will be able to save ahead down the road.
I really thank you guys for all this information I always hear about solar system but actually seeing how it works is amazing and it cost a lot to set it up but in the long run you save so much money kudos you guys
Mr. Renaldo is a GENIUS!! WOW! I live in the States and it is expensive with all the "fees" they tac onto your electricity bill. It's like you can't win and you definately can't fight them!
Hello good one! I just installed in Spanish Town and I am regretting it. It was fully installed on July 29th, thereabouts and I have not been able to get the system working properly 😔💔💔😞. The sad part is that the company is supposed to be reputable. Jamaican business people more often than not have no integrity, is my opinion.
This is an excellent way to go to cut down on your electricity bills in Jamaica and across the world especially if you live in a sunny region of the world. Remember sunshine is free solar is the way to go.
I will be going solar too I have saved my money and will have to pay to get it installed unlike this guy I have no trusted electrician to help but similar to him I'll be doing my project modular until I am completely self-sufficient... Just sorry I don't live near a river but rain harvesting is good as well
He’s pure genius, perfect definition of Jamaican resilience. Big up Renaldo.
Solar is the way to go. I was discussing this recently with my husband. I told him in the near future I see our home 100% solar powered. Thanks for sharing.
That would be a great feat

Interesting and informative 💎I know he'll be setting up a company to do this for individuals.
I'm so impressed, Congratulations Renaldo for being so innovative. Do you do consultation?

It definitely pays off, my husband been saying this for sometime to goo off grid
LAST NIGHT OUR SOLAR LIGHTS WAS THE ONLY LIGHT IN THE ENTIRE ARE.
WE HAD A TOTAL BLACK OUT IN THE AREA.
WE SURELY FELT BLESSED 😇
Love flexi desks especially electric ones perfect for home working and office too. Especially for those with Msk problems who need to sit/stand
GOALS !!! Good to know others are doing it, started researching EVs before the video was done !! Big up The Delpratt Family !!

Solar is definately a great alternative especially for smaller homes in the Caribbean. 👍
Well done Renaldo. You guys should have let him explain how he actually set up the system.
