Interesting videos. That's my goal. Living on a farm, I have become a jack of all trades, so many will be building, restoring, homesteading, and farming type videos, but I'm not limiting myself in this silly description. I'll post any darn video that I feel like! Of course, I feel like posting interesting ones, so I hope you find them interesting as well! Enjoy! Want to send me something?

DIY 5kW metal-roof solar install: rails, panels, grounding, disconnect, inverter, wiring, and testing. No steps left out! I install a 5kW solar array and inverter with all the necessary details included, from start to finish. I start out measuring the roof and the panels and determine that 2 strings of 8 will fill my roof space. They are 320W panels, so X 16 = 5120 watts total. I mount them with the Q-rail mounting system and explain that process, including wiring and grounding. I then install an EG4 18kPV inverter, a DC disconnect, EMT conduit, and run THHN wires to the inverter. I hook everything up and give it a test, and at the end of the video I include performance over the past week since I turned it on. Solar is very doable once you understand the basics and also very affordable when you consider the money saved on electricity. Want good deals on solar gear, and support the channel too?
