what's the hold up? seems like this should be standard operating procedure by now

"Any Southern Facing roof" -- Northern-Hemispheric-centrism if I ever heard it.

@moviedude22 it will be standard procedure. Many Developers are now implementing solar panels on their suburban developments. It is all about the de-centralized "smart grid" :)

thank you!

@kricotas when we got them i was very confused about how many etc, the easiest way to work out how many you'd need is when you receive your electricity bill somewhere on the bill it should show how many kW per day you are averaging out to using, this way it is easier to work out "at their top working rate" how many panels you would need! Say you use 20 - 28 kW per day , most panels are about 2. something, so you would need about 18 - 20 panels to get close to covering your bill!

Sukate qui!

what the hell they need to start using this stuff if global warming is such a big deal

REAL Free energy technology exists!But the Establishment doesn't want ppl to know this,Get the blueprints for a real Magnet motor free enegy machine at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,Start the energy revolution!

@williamsharkey Very intuitive but didnt you notice that this was a video made for the uk....thought you would've picked up on that given your powers of observation!

i did mesure with multimeter rates at

20.8 v  !

@kricotas Hi Kricotas. I'm not familiar with the products you have but if your inverter is rated 1.5kW then you could go to about 20 x 85W solar modules (panels.) The suitability of your batteries depends on their collective capacity rather than their number.
