Installing 21 solar panel on comp shingles roof. With Tesla Powerwall 3. 8.5kW DC + 11.5kW AC output with 13.5kWh of capacity. #teslapowerwall #teslaenergy
Child used at work ) Good accent)) Indicates your origin, but obviously not so readable -- but it is always worth watching more old movies like Gone with the Wind )
I am installing the universal wall connector in hopes of getting a cybertruck to run my house on. Do i need to run a communication wire to the universal wall connector for power share to work? I do not see where the com wire would connect in the universal wall connector but another video I watched the guy said they ran a com wire so it's confusing. Thanks, love your install videos.
Curious - have you ever had any issue with cable insulation melting when you paint conduit pipe black on an roof like that? I would imagine they will get quite warm. Clean install as always, good job! :D
@@SolarEngineering the cables are usually rated for quite high temps. But I’m just thinking. Black metal is auch to touch. But not sure what the surface temp get to there.
@@SolarEngineering Southern California, two story, flat tile roof and no batteries. I think it is about 30 ft from the ground. Also, I’ll supply all the materials.
@@SolarEngineering A 6 AWG copper wire typically has an ampacity of 55-65 amps. However, the wire's ampacity may be reduced if the cable is bundled with other cables or is placed in high ambient temperatures. According to the National Electrical Code (NEC), a 50 amp circuit breaker should use 6 American Wire Gauge (AWG) copper wire or 4 AWG aluminum wire. For cables running 100 feet or less, this is the recommendation. 6-gauge wire can safely carry 50 amps for up to 100 feet
According to the NEC 310.16 Ampacities of Insulated Conductors with Not More Than Three Current-Carrying Conductors in Raceway: 6AWG: 55A (60C/140F) / 75A (90C/194F) Tesla Powerwall 3 can do continuous 11.5kW, which is 48A. We have to derate 60A breaker by 20% because it's continuous load, so we are getting 48A. Hopefully it's answer question.
@@SolarEngineering 55 Amps is not 60. But your inspector bought it so WTF? I don't think this would fly in Washington state. Onward and upward. PS: 60C/140F is burning flesh. That's why we set hot water to 125F out the tap.
Look awesome and clean installation. Good job !!
You do a clean job brother . Have learned a few tricks from you the conduit spacer is awaome
Perhaps some mesh is best used as a perimeter cover? PV cooling is a must + bird nesting protection.
usually not installed in our area
nice work!
Nice project.
Real magician :)

oh man, not yet 🤞
thanks!

@@SolarEngineering Throw paint only from street view side. May be not black but grayish as shingles.
How much would you charge to install 20 400w panels with enphase system?
Location/roof type/height of the building/batteries?

I was curious , what kind of wire are you running for the emergency stop button ?
18/2 Unshielded VNTC Tray Cable
@@SolarEngineeringRoger brother , I am in the states it was saying to use the power wall 3 communication cable
Did you do this in one day, how long did it take?
oh no, I have a roof helper only. All electrical doing myself, It took me 2.5 days.
Хорошее видео, спасибо за информацию.
Скажите пожалуйста сколько стоит такая установка? Это вы в Америке?
Я в Англии.
да, в Калифорнии.Здесь дорогой labor, такая установка стоит тридцать тысяч +.
В конце года владельцу с налогов вернется 30%.
Are the panels in series or parallel? Or both?
2 strings: 12 and 9 panels in series
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
What does the spray paint do?
just visual aesthetics
you can use wood and a cheap car jack
thanks
inverter kwh?
11.5kW / 13.5kWh
@@SolarEngineering why did you install a big inverter? why not use an inverter with the same kwh as the panels or a smaller inverter?
@@BTx789 Tesla Powerwall 3 has fixed power/capacity, you cannot buy a lower wattage inverter, it's built in.
So annoying still can’t buy the powerwall 3 in UK
I was lucky to get this one. Waiting for a month for another project.
6 gauge wire is not big enough for 60 amp breaker. Out of code!
wrong

Can I see your electrical diagram?
