Great guide, about how much and how long did it take to do this? I live in new york and know a lot of property owners and wish to provide them with solar panel assembly. Your guide has got me motivated to build my own 108 solar panel array.

@Uraffyouruse Currently I am looking at solar more as Research and Development. Specifically I wish to tackle the true bottleneck of solar energy. That is storage. I needed a few panels in order to research and build experimental Lead-acid deep cycle solar batteries. If you do the math, volts, watts, amps, inverters etc. and convert from DC to AC you will see what I mean. If you wish to build one to do simple tasks one panel with a controller will do a great job charging batteries.

Do not use silicon caulk, use electronic grade RTV. Silicon caulk releases acetic acid and is not good for electronics.

Very Nice video. Thank you. So how far off the glass is the front of the solar cells?

Dear respected Sir's, Madam,

I wish to donate (secret) from my own account to one old people home - at least 5000 watts solar system, and will be very much obliged to you, if you kindly let me know what I should need.

Kindly provide me your best economical solution.

Kind regards.
