   Dude, wonderful vid, and great concept of saving money to better the planet… but, the angle of your apparatus is ridiculously steep looking. It looks like 65 to 70 degrees from horizon, and unless you live near the poles and they rotate, that’s real inneficient. They’ll better perform at your latitude and time of year with calcs that are online but for dec21 I think it’s something like: your lat *.9 +30 = angle of panels from horizon. Awesome though, keep it up.

   Good video. A vertical axis wind turbine might be an equally good choice for that particular location. That hillside appears to be well exposed with little vegetation and away from major housing developments, so any noise generated won’t be noticed or complained about quite so much. Carry on.

   Actually, you are a dumb . This guy isn’t from the US, but speaks our language exceptionally well. I am certain of the fact that his IQ is at least three times what yours is. Go crawl back under your rock or better yet, buy his book and learn something.

   What language is this guy speaking? I am kidding! Good video. How long do your panels last? Do they have to be insulated from rain?

    Absolutely correct. More free energy. Charge batteries during sun, and when its dark or cloudy - get energy from the batteries

    You only need under $100 for the materials to build solar panel. And right after you build it you start saving cash. The more you build more you save/

    175watts at 20volts. Most homes in USA run off 120volts. Most homes have 200 amps panels, which is about 24,000 watts. how many panels would you need for a single family home at 120volts?
