Yeah, don’t you guys own video cameras too. Show us how to do it RIGHT.
Dont be scared hermando..
take responsibility for your own life just wire up some panels and get the lights on…. get off the grid and out of your moms basement
This is easy, safe (unless you fall off the roof) and fun
I’ll bet this ‘expert’ is the low bidder. NABCEP, my friend.
here is the playlist for the series just click my screen name makes it easy for beginners to get your feet wet with solar..

This is a total joke. If you do it like this you will most likely have problems. This is why we have the National Electric Code.
What village you from – open splice- wrong cable- this is how fire’s start’s i’ll call a electrician !
This fella better be careful. I remember a dude a wile back, was heyawin & hollerin all about SOLAR Power this!! & SolerpOwer that!! and the next thing you know they were just sweeping up some black ash… all that was left of him!
This guy better be careful…he could wind up going off like a roman candle in front of the whole neighbourhood.
@vipermax11
i agree with that, what a fruit this guy is.
anybody who follows what this guy just did is a frigging loon.
gee i think that what they make water proof boxes for? and water proof wire nuts.
the first time it rains and you have to be on the roof and this is shorting on the water you’ll be dead.
@cscarll
this is his own house…..lol
First of all thats MC cable not BX… Second there are DC approved wire specifically used for solar panel installations. Third the MC cable is not water tight and should not be used on roofs! Hire a Qualified Electrician not some handyman!!
WTF…Now I have seen everything. HUH..there’s no code here. DA it’s called the National Electrical Code. I give up, I’ve been a Master Electrician for over thirty years. I’m gonna buy a hot dog stand.
LOL. “We’re not really concerned with 12-40 volts.” I AM! Especially when all you did was “get a good twist” on the wires. Talk about stupid. I know nothing about solar panels but I go to school for electrical engineering…and “a good twist” on 40 volts probably isn’t the way to go.
where can i order the clamps an tracks to mount my panels on the roof
@gswimfrk you have taken the words right out of my mouth.
@iPhilyaw450r Totally agree Im 15 and i know not to that kind of SH!T
Please!! don’t do what this guy is doing on the video,
jack ass
can’t see video. covered with text
Can you number your videos? I don’t even know where to start…
MC can not be used outside where exposed to weather per NEC further what does he have a connector on the MC cable. There is a J-box behind the panel to connect to. It’s about the higher amperage not the voltage you dope!
anyone wants to learn ,go to school .use these videos as references and read the comments. but go to school look into it at local cooleges and boces…they are certified coureses
its amazing … all these “expertvillage” videos suck … not enough info or wrong info or too short video for info required why bother noob go away Expert villageDOTcom you are
Our Small Wind Turbine kits have both wind and solar as a hybrid energy kit. Solar never charges at night or on cloudy days. Wind power kits are a great way to reduce or eliminate your home energy bill. Most people are going grid-tied and making the utility buy back the unused energy made from their windmills. Home wind power kits can be installed on a roof or in the yard of your home very easily. Small wind turbines are rapidly spreading across America combined with solar.
