This location requires hot spot free panels due to the trees on the south and the side building:

Rereleased an old video. Really? How about some new content.
Absolutely.
Ok looser video and Looser design… Using Old school under performing string converter, everyone knows that Micro Inverter's are on average in Real life test. Produce up to 10% more power when considering Dusty panels , Leaf's on panels, Bird Droppings, Chimney Shadows, Shadows from other buildings on the roof. Light Snow excetera excetera. On big line inverters all you do is generate HEAT & Noisey AC into Your house. In California with Thousands of Solar Systems installed every day 94?% of them Wisely use the 5th generation of micro inverter's. Looser Video..
Never a fan of cliffhanger endings.
1. Dont use Vivant or Sunrun.
2. Dont use a string inverter
3. Do use Enphase
4. Do look at Panasonic (HIT) / LG
5. The key is a good installation crew.
How do they get installed start to finish?
I wanna know how I can start with a few panels and expand it over time as I get money to afford expansion.
You can get some good used ones for pennies on the dollar.
A good rough estimate to figure out an approximation of how many 250 watt solar panels (common size) your house will need: Look at your power bill to see how many kwH (kilowatt hours) you consume in a month. Take that number and divide by 23. That assumes 3 hours of sunlight per day. For example, if your household consumes 500 kwH per month, then 500/23 = 22 panels. If you are lucky and live in the desert southwest, take that number and divide by 40. 500/40 = 13 panels. Hope that helps some of you.
Still didn't explain how to choose them
If you just listen to the audio, it’s Bob Odenkirk giving us the rundown on solar.
1. The title is inaccurate.
2. The video doesn't provide much info.
Soooo, how much will the system cost? Installation cost? How many years will it take me to recuperate that cost? Will I ever recuperate that cost? What is the projected life of the equipment? WTF This Old House?? EDUCATE ME!!!
weak video offering from this old house. misleading title and most of the important information is not provided.
I read the comments first..
..and then clicked thumbs down. I just myself 4 and a half minutes!
PMSL
Just where exactly did the choosing part come in?
these are not how to videos
So "How do you choose a solar panel" ? Because this video didn't explained that at all. Nada.
Sun is in the sky 8 hours a day? What planet does he live on?
Did I miss the part where the video tells me how to choose a solar panel?
It didn’t tell me how to choose solar panels. Darn
Price each panel? Inverter? Converter and price each battery? Nothing about
RGS Energy solar shingles

This video gives no information on how to choose the right solar panel…
Step 1. Read your power bill.
Step 2. Look at the sun.
Step 3. There is no step 3 you're blind now.
PLEASE NOTICE HE SAID NOTING ABOUT PURE SING WAVE INVERTERS WITCH U NEED WITH MODERN TV'S, LAPTOPS, ETC
