    Your presentation is top notch. Educating with humor. How in the world do you not have a silver plaque.

      Thank you very much!! I'll get there. I have 700,000 follows over on TikTok, I'm just getting started over here. 😂.

    Thank you so much for this idea! I have some on the roof but the ones on the ground we put wheels on, but this is what we could really use so it will swivel.

      Yep, and it can adjust for the shorter days too. You're very welcome.

    Nice work. I wish I could do that but in my area big bro wants a permit for solar. I would also need a separate permit for what you just made . They just love to hit you for every dime they can take from you.

      Yeah that's a bummer. I'm more of an ask forgiveness than permit kind of guy.

      Same here in my county in NJ. Permits for everything even if it’s to make things safer. Taxation out of control

    I literally have a solar rack built the exact same way except its made with hughesnet satellite parts on 2 3/8 fence poles. Has been standing for 2 years and has survived 2 hurricanes with no problem. Good job and great video.

      Not a cat 5 😂, not even professionally installed panels will survive that, my friends panels got ripped off by hurricane Maria.

      @@MosaicHomestead correct not a cat 5 although one did start out as cat 5 but downgraded to cat 1 before it got to us.

      @Comatose_Era The best thing that happened to you this year 😆...we got hit by Ernesto this year, about 10 days no power or water.

    Now it just needs to track the sun automatically

    • @7kinhomestead
      @7kinhomestead  29 дней назад +1

      Yep, it wouldn't be too hard. A couple solar switches with shaders and a couple motors/chains. I bet I could make that work.

      @ dude, you’re a genius. I have no doubt.

    Nice! I actually have something meant for a satellite 📡 that I’m going to try using 👍

      Sweet!! I'd like to see how that goes.

    Its nice, but i can't get away with something like this here, ever since i lived through Maria, my building standards went up for everything, i built a portable rack with wheels out of metal, easy to move and rotate.
