Check out our first initial review of using 100% off grid solar system after 2 months of usage. This is not FINAL review of the system of course, it's just a sort of a first impression of using before we make a final review maybe in few months when everything is installed with appliances.

If you have any questions I will be answering all comments about the solar system, have a awesome weekend!

This is great to see in person. We are a few weeks out from 🇵🇭 and also very interested in solar living. Initially expensive, but worth it. Great to see the progress you guys are making! 🙏

Every year during dry season or summer you would always be worried about forest fire since your house is located in the midst of lust forest vegetation. Its recommended for you to build a high firewall stone fence around your property as well as an indoor water sprinkler. Even if you are abroad or away from your house you can have peace of mind.

The new Finnlyn home is not only structurally gorgeous, it's also self-powered and sustainable. Proud of you both and your choices!!

I suggest you use WILO pumps that are designed in Germany for your water pressure needs including your pool because they run and controlled by inverters which is very efficient in power consumption and very durable also. Believe me because I worked as an operator/maintenance of that pump for 12 years and it didn't gave me headache for that time being.

From what I hear, it is ok to drain the batteries to zero IF they are lithium (without long term effect/damage), to make them last longer. Max charge is more important, like do not fully charge them, only up to 80-85%. This will give you the max battery life expectancy from a lithium. Not draining the battery for max life (no less than 50%), only applies to led acid and AGM type batt. P.S., LiFepo4 batt = Li for lithium, Fe for Iron element symbol, and po4 for phosphate.

Smart to put A/C in the solar room, A lot of people don't think about the heat and humidity destroying electronics and degrading the batteries.

In San Carlos City up farther north of Dauin, their is a solar farm there. Me and my class went for a visit and learned their ROI was about seven years. A good charge controller will take care of your batteries. You can exlore net metering in the future. Service life of equipments are important. Also support tree planting projects up the mountains which makes possible low water rates. You can explore mini windmills too.

Congrats, you have a nice solar system in place. You are ready to enjoy now.

We have a similar system here in Australia East Coast. 24KW Solar and 40KWh battery storage. A fully centralized Aircondition with a split system in the Rumpus room that has all the solar system installed. In Summer we don't even turn the aircon in the house off. It runs 24/7 and battery SOC has not been below 48%.
Everything runs on the system, including pool/Hot We don't worry about it anymore. The only thing I might turn off in a really cloudy/rainy day is the Hot Water System as it stores 250ltr of hot water and stays hot for 48hrs easily.
the only recommendation I would make is to change the temperature in your Solar room to 24C~25C celsius. Batteries hate heat, no matter what type. Ours like your solar room aircon is set to come on in the morning at 08:00AM and turns off at 20:30PM. All year as in the winter period it might be ON, but doesn't actually do anything due to the Temps. As such it might use 20W for the electronics that monitor.
You really shouldn't have to turn off the fridge at all.
Same with your aircon as they are very efficient ones the desired temperature has been reached.
Our big House aircon is set to 25C celsius in Summer and 24C in winter.

Finn.. for the pool, instead of a heater for your pool, I live in New Hampshire and we used a solar blanket. It honestly looked like upsidedown bubble wrap, but was very durable. We had it on a roller so it was easy to cover the pool and easy to take off. Saves a lot of money, plus you guys live where it's warm so you probably don't need to heat it much

I’ve found the electric bill to be excessive when I used 5 Aircon’s, water heaters, refrigerator, and freezer. Of course my Filipino family would walk outside and leave the door wide open so training to keep the doors and windows closed is required. Good vlogs, I’m interested in your future wind power. *Seal around the door and I would add a room HEPA air filter unit to your power room, the micro dust getting sucked into your electronics can create a lot of damage to your equipment, it’s a small price to keep your electronics in top shape. God Bless

Congrats finnlyn you're the first ever I've knew here i the philippine installed a very expensive equipment, it's good idea ever i admired you both.❤❤❤.

Fin why not get a 5 stage reverse osmosis home water system for your home, install it in your kitchen. You will be able to cut down the cost in buying purified water container. You can also free up some space in your storage because of the water containers.

There is Net metering in Cebu and other major cities in the Phlippines. You get credit for it.

Wow that sounds ultra modern and very efficient good luck with your system it’s been great watching all the progress inside outside n the property

Very interesting and thank you for sharing, I am in the Philippines and projecting to do the same. Some thought however, … if your batteries are recharged by 8… is your electricity generation not over dimensioned???

No Brownout! Yes, all the more reason for having your own solar system. No worries about the heat, food/appliances getting damaged and so on. Very impressive calculation/computation, Finn and nice haircut, Sherlyn, suits you beautifully. You are both blessed with an ultra modern high tech/equipped house (paradise). Good to know everything is going right with you guys. Thanks for the input. Like Kulas.often say, Power On!

I really dig the solar stuff. I told my girlfriend when we build our house, I need solar, and starlink, and we need to build high enough so it doesn't flood, and strong enough that typhoons don't blow it down the street. 😁

Excellent video. here in Virginia USA I have the same sized system, just no batteries. it's grid tied, the utility DOES give me credit in KwHours for use in other times of the year if it's cloudy and stormy. Microinverter based system, reliable for longer than large inverters.
Sunny day this time of year I can generate 120 KwH. Today, dark and rainy all day, only generated 15 KwH.
I DID install it myself, it took a very long time (57 panels on three roofs). the plans were provided by the wholesaler, they had to be engineer reviewed and approved. The permits from the town were not expensive. It was a pain getting the utility to OK the system because it is so massive. I had to accumulate several months of utility bills to convince them that yeah, I can use that much power. It's a silly system, why limit the size of a solar array, what part of the environment does the utility NOT want to protect? The more green power we push out on the grid, the less fossil fuels we need to burn. The system is paid outright, and it has been amazing so far.
