Photovoltaic solar panel installation (in HD)

Описание: April 2016 edit: On March 31, 2016, I sold this house and the panels. It all now belongs to the new owner. During my nearly six years of ownership, all the panels, the wiring and the installation were completely trouble-free. However, six of the Enphase M190 inverters failed. All were replaced at no cost to me, although it took considerable coordination with Enphase and the installer to make that happen. The Enphase Envoy control box (shown toward the end of the video) also died and we bought a replacement. Otherwise, we never had any leaks or panel failures in our 5 years and 9 months of ownership.

Back to the original description:

During the week of June 21, 2010, I had a photovoltaic solar system installed at my home in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. The installation took place over two days, with the panels installed the first day and the electrical connections completed the second day. The system consists of 18 235-Watt panels, and each panel has a dedicated inverter installed under the solar panel. As you can see, the crews were fast, neat and professional.

I gave a lecture with very detailed information about the cost and savings with this system. It's on video, and you can watch it at    • Solar power - Bob Kovacs at Shepherd Cente...  .

I shot this with a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS7 digital camera and edited it using Corel VideoStudio Pro x2.

Edit: The new digital electric meter was installed on July 14, 2010, so this system is now generating power and feeding the grid. For more about me and what I do, check my website at http://www.bobkovacs.com.
