When connecting panels (and especially disconnecting) that are in the sun, it is good practice to cover the panel with a sheet or cardboard or something to "turn it off" before you connect/disconnect.
My solar contractor selected Q Cell 405-watt panels for our home PV system, consisting of 31 panels and 31 Enphase IQ8A Inverters making 12,550 watts DC or 15,400 kWh annually. It's about 25% more than our average annual consumption.
When measuring, if it's 39in between the mounting holes then on the tracks just measure 39 from the right side to right side, or left to left. It's the same as from the center of both, but you can hook or press your tape for an accurate and easier measurement.
@12:58 Use a shop vac to vacuum a pull string then connect to the wires to assist with pull. Also, might ant to leave the string for future work. Not sure how long it will last though.
So to power a 5-bedroom house, you'd need to install 6 or 7 acres worth of these monstrous panels, taking up your entire property. These things are HUGE! In any case, I admire your skills.
My home runs on 6kw worth of solar. But I don't use the hvac or hat water off grid. This gives you a good example of how much power a home uses. A lot!
I think some people don't known that the system produces a certain amount of Kilowatts PER HOUR. So an 8 KW system produces 48KW in six hours of good sunshine, mid-day. 20 panels of 400 watts each produces 8 KW, Per Hour. I hope that helps. @@LandtoHouse
Nice efficient T mounts for your panel and cool that the workshop is getting its own solar system. I'm hoping to see what you come up with for a "tiltable" mount so that you can change the angle with each season.
Pretty, basic, down and dirty.. Wind will make a mess of that frame. I'd run the conduit up the post. As you mentioned, the panels should be grounded, and absolutely isolate the Unistrut from the Aluminum frame. Is the cable available smaller? #10 for a 10 amp? running a long distance?
Those are listed in the video. But you can also find that info on the project solar website. I am using this to power the lights in my shop. Ran it 3 hours last night. Doing well.
I clicked this channel to learn about that massive solar panel ...you wasted too much time constructing the not so relevant solar stand ...Im outa here

No, you’d need roughly 20 of these panels, assuming the house is using 30KWh per day (which is normal for a family home).
@ConorLennon 20 panels will produce about 8kw, you would need far more than 20 panels since each panel Is 400 watts

7 acres would power an entire neighborhood 😂

Nice work sir tidy job....
Seth, Not "Twelve OClock Noon". Solar Noon. They can be over an hour different!
How much? How many kwh? Voltage? Amps?

Sweet!!!!!
