We installed a 35kw solar system 5 years ago. Cost $44k before any tax incentives. We have generated $29k worth of electricity at local rates. We bought 2 EVs and replaced propane heat with heat pumps. Total savings to date are $45k. 30% tax rebate brought our out of pocket cost to $31k. Finally, we live in a mountain valley, and our panels face east/west. Solar is a no-brainer sweet deal!

Everybody that knows this guy must feel blessed. What an amazing fun character, sharing his love of life.

Kim your guest interview and his knowledge really added to your content. Wow! He’s a hoot. Solar panels and solar batteries ain’t sexy, but TESLA figured how to make them sexy. Words to live by.

[nhand]

It blows my mind the USA hasn't more uptake of solar panels. In Australia a third of houses have solar panels and more added every year. Solar panels are amazing. Everybody should have them.

[wmartonejr]

Dude is an absolute solar reality show rock star 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻

[backcountryFLcyclist]

Your guest is energetic and makes for great entertainment!

[Riverrain]

blew his mind at the end of the video with the cybertruck info aha

[aerodyneservices]

Not to cast shade on the solar, but there is a whole lot of shade on those panels...😂

Haha great video and information! ❤ I have a model 3 in 🇨🇦. So cheap and saves me $500 a month in fuel costs. This guy is smart and entertaining. Thanks Kim ❤

Why does the Gun Smoke character Festus, come to mind watching this video? But I love it when YouTubers think blurring out a car license plate is a privacy thing, when everyone on the road can see the plate number. Yet, they will show pictures of their home, spouse, kids and say what city they live in. lol

Hey KJ, its the Tesla guy in Canada Excellent presentation/you tube by u and your client. Tesla Rules with Kim Java

[vorenge]

Ahh, Kim…this guy is great! Thank for the update video. 😊

[mockingbird]

Might not hit for some, but totally get some Michael Keaton vibes breaking through with this guy. He ain't Batman... nor is he Beetlejuice... but some homesteading-hippie-farmer version right in the middle. Haha!

[MikeHewitt]

Great video Kim. That dude is hilarious. Very likable, you should have him on more.

[tjmooney]

Bifacial solar panels on raised ground mount arrays paired with lithium batteries make going off grid a no brainer these days

[Hypertrev]

When did he add the powerwalls? Looks like Powerwall 2. If he was one of the first to get them it would have been 2016. So 8 years of powerwall and 14 years of solar?

[toddwolenski]

This guy is hilarious. Living the actual dream.

[mikadavies]

Wonderful with American subsidies... No such luck in UK.

[simba]

He did not just lick his hand to clean the panel, wipe, and then relick the same finger to wipe more I’m dead!!! 😭😭😭 prob tasted like 10 year old dirt 😂 you were pushing it with the first hand lick to begin with my guy 😭😂😭
