How I Earn Money With Solar

These are my actual numbers over 12 months. I encourage anyone interested in solar to see what is available in your area and make the best decisions that work for you.

I've been wanting to make this video for a while. Post any comments or questions here and I'll try my best to reply. Up next for me are some repair videos I'm working on.

I like how you constantly say "we" to include the family.😊

Lol A man named Steve Comisar sold a "solar-powered clothes dryer" for $39.99. Once he received the money, customers were mailed a clothes line

Great video and thank you for breaking it down! Our solar production has been great in our first 3 months so looking forward to seeing where we land after 1 year.

This is super awesome! What do you think about a DIY horizontal geothermal heating system? I think it uses so little power that it can heat a home in the winter using only the power generated by solar panels, at least during the day.

Idk if you've heard this a billion times, but all I hear is Fred armisen.... which is a compliment:)

I live in Florida and the only thing I get is net metering. My utility charges me $35.08 regardless as a customer charge. My state doesn’t offer any certificates or anything like that

Thanks for the information. Very clear and straight forward. I'm interested in Installing my system myself. Where can I buy a good system? You have any company recommendations?

[jeffgilmore]

Thanks for your work! I see there is much to learn for me to do this size project. Because I live in Florida I feel the expense of the Battery back up might make sense. Did you leave out the batteries because you don't for see outages? Great job on making your content clear!!!

[mickeymallette]

Ok, so considering this . . . Where would I start on picking components or educating myself on the hardware?

[StarWarsDroidTheory]

Can you install battery backup? Solar and battery backup is the dream. Completely self sustaining off the grid.

Is the true-up credit paid on a one-to-one basis? Also, between the true-up credit and SREC payouts, is there any real downside to oversizing your solar system in PA?

Did I understand that correctly....your house uses about 20, 000KWH in a year? Sounds like a lot (I'm using 11, 000 in SE Virginia in a 2800SF home). We recently installed a 10.6K solar array on our roof and my area of interest has shifted a bit as I better understand our energy usage. The annual11, 000KWH we used cost about $1500 total. But, looking at my Toyota 4Runner, which gets about 19MPG and I drive about 16K per year....I'm spending about $3400 on gas at $4/gallon. So the savings potential is much greater in offsetting energy usage for the car vs the house. And that's just one car. So, we have an EV on order that will soon replace my 14 year old Toyota and I'm looking forward to an earlier payoff as a result. By the way, I was totally unaware of the SREC credits until i got an email asking me to sign up shortly after the install this past April. Bonus!

Can you tell how to select a solar pannel and why you select Panasonic when there are pannels more efficent than that.

[xzibit]

I just cleaned my panels and saw a 26% jump in output. Granted they were pretty dirty

[eikeksi]

Can you repair the panels with home materials so you neverneed to buy new ones?

[mcecordova]

SREC have a sunset. You cannot sell them for Life they're only available for a few years. It would be better if you included in your calculations the cost of acquisition and installation. That would tell the real net loss story. You didn't factor in the government tax credits either. Even so, a huge net loss story.

Would you considered doing this process again but using wind turbines and equipment that is avaible through Amazon? If you had ideal wind in your location.

[risingdynasty]

I’m confused why is a certificates worth money?

[PazLeBon]

youbuy a lotof stuff for someone frugal, i guess we have different interpretations of what frugal means, usually i see it as a person needing to be frugal
