Nice job! Noise means nothing when you don’t have power…..I just installed mine. Straightforward instructions…..looks good!

Good work! One thing to be mindful of for tank size is how cold it gets. I watched your video unloading the unit off your truck, I see snow. The colder it is outside the less BTU’s you have out of a propane tank. A 100lb bottle would run a 80k btu furnace about 20 hours. I have a 22kw which at 1/4 load (6K) uses 115K BTU. A 100lb bottle at zero degrees puts out 50k BTU and that’s if it’s full at 80%, as the fullness drops from use the BTU also drops because the vaporization rate changes.

I would do research and see what works for your area or worse case scenario calculations and size appropriately.

I bought my own tank can get filled from any propane supplier. 💯 recommended owning your own tank for that very reason. Not sure if you’re familiar with Farrell gas or AmeriGas a while back they couldn’t even fill their own customers tanks and many ran out. After seeing that and thinking of how much I just spent getting generator out in, I thought it would be kinda silly to not be able to get the fuel to run it in a situation. It didn’t have to be a shortage either, massive ice or snow storms, or blackouts can lead to delivery delays also, so having any supplier to use gives one an advantage over so many others.

Oh boy, the stuff you can buy, when you have lots of money.

Maybe if you put the panels on before you walked away before you tried to show the actual noise level

Can’t hear ya! 😊. All panels were off. Nicely done.

When you turn it on manually did you have to have the transfer switch off ?

Ok you didn't tell us any thing either, a joke
