This guy is what every industry needs to succeed!! An honest simple approach.

[grindygrindstaff]

Wow, thanks again Will. I'm 64 years old and I get to watch it again I'm slow but I am learning.

[exploringrvdude]

I think the thing about learning all this battery and solar stuff is to just watch videos and absorb what you can each time. I understand a lot more of what Will is presenting now that I have a functioning 400 watt solar setup. Don't get discouraged, just keep watching these videos and slowly get a sense for all these aspects of electricity, it's not much different than learning a language.

[russellmitchell]

Will - i am literally in awe of you! As a father of 3 young children I hope my kids grow up to do something like you do. Love your channel and your videos which I have been watching for years :)

[mahdieka]

Your videos helped me pass the NABCEP PV Associate exam. Thank you for all you do!

[omarallahham]

Man you're so perfect in delivering info .You deserve every like on this video

[dbrown]

Once again you the man ! I never knew I knew so little about batteries. Thanks Will really enjoyed this.

[mansourshamary]

God bless you. Outstanding efforts to explain how the solar system work. This comment goes with all of your episodes in your channel that you have made and continue to make about solar system various subjects. Many thanks,

[kuldar.]

I am 36 yo and still learning! Great channel!

[ankitjha]

after watching your video i want to make a small off-grid solar system . your videos are really very helpful for me 👍👍

[ppkgaming]

I just did a 5 day solar course and I had to watch this guy to explain everything. The teacher was very cumbersome.

[Okimyhome]

Excellent👍 since I found your channel I’ve been binge watching your videos. Lots of great information and helping me understand solar. Thank you for sharing your knowledge 😀

[JohninTucson]

You know what is really awesome? Only a few months ago a video like this that requires basic math concepts would have me sitting in a dark corner rocking back and forth while I sucked my thumb, but now - Shazam - not only do I understand it, but it's become second nature to me. Yee Haw ! By God Will, I am getting there FINALLY. Thank you for breaking things down in a nice simple manner for us newbies to the Solar and battery game. Now it's back to the stark realities of everyday life - I have to do my damn laundry now...Shit. Thanks again my friend, it's always a pleasure spending time with you via your videos !

[HomewardBoundRV]
