This is not a how to video, it is simply someone telling you that you are not qualified to install it and to hire a contractor.... No real info provided.

To be grid-tied in California, the inverter must do these things: Power Conditioning... Synchronize the AC output to the grid frequency

Sense a power failure of the grid and turn off the inverter so outflowing current is not a hazard to utility workers (Anti-Islanding).

Convert DC to AC

For the greatest efficiency, it should perform Maximum Power Point Tracking.

A built-in GFI is good to protect the expensive Inverter.

HI, what happen if the electricity is cat off fron the grid ??

If I do not have electricity at home only solar panels and inverter and I do not like batteries ??

Can you help me with this problem

THanks

It's just telling about something about the inverter, not a how-to, though...

Wow where's the installation? I hate the mormon ads -_-

[LOOPDISCONNECT]

Tells you nothing of any use .

[hermancando]

solar has many years longevity-100 yrs or more---crystals are not toxic waste

[canectar]

did you know solar Panels only last 20-25 years IF YOUR LUCKY! then its Toxic waist..

>>> It is estimated that a ton of SF6 equals a greenhouse effect of 25,000t of CO2. SF6 can be reduced to sulphur dioxide (SO2), the emissions of which can result in acid rain. Overuse of SF6 can undermine climate change targets by the use of solar power, as SO2 emissions create a high greenhouse effect. <<<

Dark Secrets they DON'T tell you .. do a Google of “Toxic waste of solar” or “Toxic Waste of PV sf6”.

Building solar panels seems to cost more then buying electric geesh! Hope we get this cost down soon, or our electric companys are going to need more trees for poles!

i just watched a baking soda commercial for his last video and all of a sudden he pulls out a box of baking soda wtf!
