I have wanted to get solar panels for a while but I didn't think it was worth it. But prices have come way down, and I also wondered if I could do it myself. This was one of my most challenging projects yet, but so rewarding! Now we have no electric bills and we even make money every month. #DIYsolar #solar #solarpanels

    As someone who works in the solar industry let me say this guy is a hero. The time and work he put in to do the job is impressive and then share it with all for free on the internet. Bravo. I initially clicked on the video half expecting to see another non code-compliant and shabby installation but instead I found the GOAT of DIY.
  • Definitely getting my likes for being that guy with no knowledge of doing something, scouring the internet for help, learning, THEN putting out a free guide for other noobs!? Hell yeah, dude!
  • @farmcat9873
    Oh man the world needs more people like this man that helps EVERYONE no matter what, giving all the information to the masses.
  • @bobsteven2363
    What’s most impressive is that he was not afraid to hire people for specific tasks he knew he wouldn’t do very well in. Most peoples ego would stop them
  • @bobbeezel2593
    I’ve been an electrician for 27 years and am pretty impressed by your craftsmanship. Well done sir!
  • I can't believe the "Made my own checkbox" thing worked for the permit haha!
  • @Afrikaislife
    I won't be installing a solar system myself, but I do what to be educated enough to ask the right questions and your informative video is just the ticket. Thanks for putting the free booklet together. Much appreciation and great work.

    Wow - the roof mountings were the most interesting to me - nobody ever shows that part. Many thanks for documenting this whole process - you are helping other people in various countries. In my view - there are too many regulations for solar in each country which restricts it adoption widely.
  • I love it when guys like you that did all the hard work is willing to share his knowledge and help other people to do it much easier without the struggle. Cool man!!!!
  • @LJWalter78
    Finally! Someone with appreciation for details!! Code compliance is paramount!
  • I'm not sure why, but I got a certain satisfaction for you when you said the inspector said he would consider you a professional for any future work/inspections. That's just awesome and he could have easily not given you that recognition.
  • @phil5569
    The fact that you set that entire system up all by yourself is absolutely impressive! Tip of the hat to you, Sir. Respect!
  • @KBProduction
    I have no plan to install one, but it is Very fun to watch
  • @ajs510
    I love the part where solar panel installation day is literally the cloudiest day in human history, haha! Great video, thank you. Very informative, interesting and entertaining.
  • Wonderful video, with clear and concise explanation. I enjoyed watching this and big kudo's to this man for getting it done himself. Thanks for sharing your Solar install adventure. I can't wait until I can start mine. ✔💯
  • You're an inspiration and a credit to humanity for making it easier for the next guy thank you

    I like how you are not being 'selfish' and let people help you when you don't feel comfortable.
