Understanding Solar: A Beginner's Guide - 2022 Edition

thanks for this video

absolutely nailed the info in this short video. much appreciated.

Thank you

Great information

Good video but where is the link to part 2 ?!

I truly appreciate you and your channel. As an absolutely newbie to the world of the Solar m 🌎, you make it very simple to understand. Bringing the logistics of it in terms I can understand really takes the anxiety out of it. Thank you

Going to add solar at home. This introduction is quite valuble to understand stuff when dealing with the suppliers/installers. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks for the great education!
Can you recommend good solar panel providers (material+install) in Sydney Northshore area?

Is it true… get a larger inverter than you think you will need incase you add more panels later/

Batteries are insurance

Men just why I got this , We gonna get new law where we have to pass month electric bill even for solar , bro is sun charging now?

I am in a dilemma is this metre grid the right one installed by previous owner of the hous . We installed new solar panels and husband says he can see how much electricity consumed and how much export ? Do I need to change this

Wish you'd do an OFF-GRID solar video.

Hi Finn, I am in Victoria, and can I use 14 x 470w Jinko Tiger Neo panels with a Fronius Primo 5.0-1 inverter for a 6.6kwh system? Thanks

Great explanation thanks

People forget that when your system has dropped to 90% efficiency you only have to add one more panel and go for another 25 years.
No wasting your installed system.
So 50 year life time of free power. (except for the extra panel after 25 years)


Forget batteries it is much cheaper to install a second system and sell a large amount of electricity to the grid and pull a little expensive power at night.
Ezi pezi.

Batteries Tesla $14,000
2nd Solar array, 6.6kw $5,000, over supply grid all day pull a little from the grid at night.

When you buy a new Electric Vehicle in the near future, it comes with a huge battery for free.
The vehicle will back you up at night at no cost.

You're awesome. You're like the John Cadogan of the Solar world.

What paperwork do I need to install solar on my house

Thank you for your video. I don't live in Australia, but this was a great video to get me up to speed. On to video 2 now!

Hi, I am running an off grid system comprising 18x250w panels and 5 Aquion (2.4kw) batteries. Supply is to a rural shed. I want to build a weekender on the block and run an electric car. Need advice as to how I convert the existing system or what new system I need.Mains power is 150m away ..$30k connect.
Who do u recommend to provide advise in WA.

good work i appreciate

Do you need to install earthing on the sola system

Many thanks Fin. 👍👍👍

Very interesting also for a European (Belgian) where there is less sun than in Australië

He’s done it again. Keep up the great content

Thanks for the video, Finn. This explains all this stuff very clearly. Great channel. I will pass this link on to my friends and family. Have a lovely weekend.

Are micro invertore ok?

My system has never hit the inverters peek of 5kW with 6.6kW of panels
