🔷 ABOUT US 🔷
We're a DIY family building our "forever homestead" from 15 acres of raw undeveloped land in Tennessee. All of our content is family friendly and safe for everyone to enjoy.
Today's video is a new project kick off video and announcement of our next big plans. We're going to be building and installing our own off grid solar system to take our mobile home off grid as much as possible! From ground mount pv array design and build, to digging trenches, wiring up inverters, transfer switches, inverters, battery banks, and more! This will be the first video in a long series of every step it takes! Let's go!

How would anyone think you guys were at all "look how much we have" type people. It's crazy. Thank you for sharing your journey 🌺
Internet...
You have 15 acres, you bought that land to grow & possibly expand your business but also raise the boys where they have a place to learn & grow! Love your videos & looking forward to the solar panels being installed❤❤❤
I think God has blessed your family well and I pray you will always give the glory to Him who has provided for you!
It was so good to see Angela! Love you guys.
Not once have I ever thought that about you and your family. We appreciate all you teach us!
I'm SO GLAD you added in the bloopers at the end. I've missed those...they are fun.
Sam I am always amazed at your knowledge in everything you do in building, plumbing, electrical, landscaping You & Angela are such an inspiration.
A.) I have really missed seeing Angela. And B.) I have missed seeing the outtakes. C.) You two are awesome and I love hearing that companies want to work with you. I really want a siding company to contact you when you have a chance to work on the outside of your home. D.) Maybe since it will start warming up soon the boys will be back outside 🙂
Like you didn't work hard through all the years we have been watching you grow. You deserve it. 👏 kudos
your out takes were nearly half the video. I love them just as much as the videos you put out
Love you 4. You work hard for everything you have. No ounce of uppityness do we see!!!!
You both are so enthusiastic about everything you share it’s great. I enjoy watching you since the beginning of your remodeling of your mobile home and then moving and doing all the things you’ve done it’s exciting and thank you for sharing it
You guys radiate honesty and down to earthiness. I look forward to every new video. If companies want to promote their products on your channel it's because they think you will show their products in a good light. I look forward to seeing that excavator work and learning what all is involved in going off grid. Bring it on! 👍
How exciting. Congrats 🎉 on the excavator. I am excited to see all of the projects this year.
Here's hoping the project fairy visits your homestead too! :)
Going totally off grid is great idea. Solar is great however battery energy storage is the Achilles heel
Be proud that your hard work is paying off. Love you guys.
Where’s your NEW Pool ??? Enjoy your videos . Barry and Janet
Love the new hair style Angela!
Good thing, your grandma mowing your panels because I understand that many insurance companies will no longer insure homes with panels on the roof.
Ya know how all of the comments say things like, "love how honest you are", and "down to Earth"...and, oh ya "amazing, knowledgeable" - well I just wanted to let you know... "Ditto!" Love you guys.
You two are just so cute and adorable.😂
You guys are hard workers and do seem to be decent honest people. So I do tend to trust your opinions when you’re reviewing something.
Hello Angela 👋🏼 it was good seeing you.
Take care
I thought this was an old video at first, because you both look younger!
Love Solar, have it on the rental and it is a game changer, make sure you get a backup battery, it did not come with the rental and owner won't get them. If you don't get them now, prepare for it now then all you have to do is attach them.♥♥♥
BLOOPERS ARE BACK! WOOT!!!!!!! Can't wait to see the rest of the series and not for just the bloopers.)
New to your channel. Stay humble and enjoy the ride. Looking forward to see your projects. Blessings
Congratulations Guys! Really proud for you! Love love love your channel!
So happy for y'all ! God bless you!
I have joined a mobile home group on Facebook because My daughters and I live in a mobile home and we are working on remodeling. Since a lot of the questions are about the things you have done I have referred inquiring minds to your channel. There are right many women who are moving into mobile homes . Starting over , leaving situations.
SQUEELS!!! 🎉🤜🎉
I look forward to the next one!!! Hurry!!! 🤗
Hi boys!!! 👋
Big hugs and big love!
✌️💝🙏🤜🇺🇲
Wow !! So many great things happening for you!! I’m very happy for you. I look forward to seeing the process ❤
So excited for you. I know you been wanting this for many years. 💕💕🎶🎶
Wonderful for you guys❤❤ happy for you. Thanks for sharing. God Bless!!
LOVE THE BLOOPERS!!! 💗
Good luck! Another ambitious project and goal!
I've watched you videos from the time you were getting ready to move your trailor. It never entered my mind that you were showing off what you have at all. I enjoy all your videos and it gives my family tips and tricks on doing things too. And bonus is to watch your boys hoping and learning to. Love all your videos.. ❤❤❤
I want you to have great stuff....looking forward to the panel install. Hugs
Thank you so much!
Congratulations!! I'm so happy for you.
Angela like your hair!!! Looks good. Also I feel like your videos are just showing people other ways to live. I find it all very interesting. Your family is awesome and real just keep doing what you are doing !!!!
I've missed Angela!!❤❤
Love your channel
You are awesome and should be very happy!
Looking forward to watching this series with you guys.
I'm sure others are like me in saying that I've never taken anything y'all do as bragging. Seeing the excitement in the things you do just adds to the excitement we feel watching the progress of it. Plus you guys seem to hit on most of the things I'm interested in (Not so much in gardening for me but that's okay, others like it including my wife). I'm really looking forward to the solar videos since I've been considering it for our home.
Hi Angela!! Been seeing lots of Sam, workshop videos 👍, nice to see you both.
God has blessed you with what you have. Just remember to give him the credit. You both have worked very hard to get where you are. God gave you those skills (talent), and it would be wrong to waste them. Live you all!!!!❤❤❤❤
I’m so happy for you guys! Don’t ever think that you’re bragging, just happy to share your adventures! Keep on doing what you’re doing!
Very your new bldg. Sam you both come along way since you this empty acres bot its so beautiful sam I know you will succeed great job guys love your homestead!! Bless you all!!
I have never thought that you guys were the look at us type. I'm so glad you are doing this series on solar. Solar boggles my mind and I definitely need some clarification. I have some panels and some of the components that go with it. It was being put together by someone who is no longer here. And now it's up to me to get it working. I am a DIY gal and don't hire anyone for things. Thanks Sam and Angela!
I do not think of you. That way you guys are very good people down to earth and work very hard for what you guys have.❤
Heck yeah! Good for ya’ll!
You got a nice system. Lux are great units. That inverter is 12k watts which is 50 amp output. Which that will run a 4 ton ac and not much more. 3 of them will give you 150 amp.
Have never thought of you two beautiful people like show offs. Love ya guys. Missed you, Angela ❤❤
Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and going off grid
If you wanted to I am sure you could install those panels on your south facing roof so you would have no leaks. I installed 36 panels on my south facing tile roof and am happy I did because of the high winds I have had. They are installed close to the roof which makes them immune to the forces from the wind and heavy snow melt. I have never had a problem with them getting dirty. The rain and snow are all I use to clean them. My roof is too high to use a tool to clean them from the ground so I loose about one or two weeks of power a year due to snow coverage. I also have 12 panels installed on my adjoining shop roof, 6 facing west and 6 facing east. This gives me usable power in the morning and evening. I have considered installing 12 more panels on a south facing frame set at the optimal angle for the winter solstice sun. This array could be cleaned of snow and would give the most power when it is needed on the shortest days of the year. I get more than enough power from my solar system for about 10 months of the year. I go on/off grid any time I need to just by switching the switch that transfers my main load center from the power company to my solar load center. I wish I had the ambition to put in that solar array but I think I may watch you do your solar work instead.
You are both some of the most humble people out there. It's been so exciting to live vicariously through you 😍
Your videos are so fun to watch, the progression of your space is AWESOME
Started watching you when you moved to the homestead , amazing how much you guys have accomplished ❤
Awesome or not, I’m jealous! Keep it up.
Enjoy y'all channel. Looking forward the the solar videos.
Sam
Nothing boring about your videos.
Enjoy learning about new things and how they're working out for you.
I hope you never stop doing the bloopers or outakes at the end.
I'm sure this encourages people to watch until the end.
Rxcited to see how this solar project comes together for you.
This is going to be a fun project! Lots of work but great payout.
Nice hair cut Angela. Good to see what you have planned,I just wish I was young enough to understand all this tech info. I don't understand how a battery starts my truck yet. Good luck and I will be lost lost in the details.
Sam, we have been watching your videos for years and we’re so very happy for all the progress and improvements that you’ve made for your family and business. You and Angela are two of the most talented and hard working people I’ve ever seen and I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
I’m also going to go out on a limb here and say that I believe that with all of this construction experience your gaining with the new shop build, I’m wondering if you eventually plan to also build your family a new home on the homestead? I know it would be a huge project and investment of time but I think you’d do a fantastic job of it!
God bless and keep up the great work!
I would LOVE to build a house, but don't know if it will ever happen. The cost of construction feels enormous and we hate the idea of going into debt or getting a mortgage for a home out of "want" vs. "need".
Whatever blessings God has given to you we are so happy for you and your family. Thanks for sharing! Sam, you are an excellent teacher. I appreciate your detailed instructions on your projects.
lol , your bloopers at the end of your video, love them.
Whoo Hoo congrats and I look forward to following along on this project. Fun funny outtakes at end, one serious thing though, sorry if I sound like an old granny but I am an old wise granny and I want to say that sun exposure on eyeballs can contribute to cataracts, think of sunglasses as sunscreen for eyeballs.
I really miss your videos. Glad to see you again. Congrats on all the blessings!❤
I don't believe in telepathy, but just this morning I thought 'Green Acre going "off grid" would be very sensible'. Looking forward to the series.
Kind regards Christiaan
I don't know about your area, but here in East Texas this morning we had a huge hail storm. I haven't seen my roof yet, but it did ping the hood of my truck pretty good. It seems that one would need some way of protecting the panels in an instance such as this.
Can’t wait to see it all
OUTAKES!!! Oh how I've missed you.
Thank you looking forward to it.
So interested in seeing how you go about getting off grid. I have panels and system installed but am attached to grid. My dream is getting off grid. Hopefully after watching your series of videos on this subject I will feel more confident in going forward.
Watch Country View Acres, Evan installed solar awhile back very impressive and very good tips , just a suggestion,
Sam has really done his homework and knows his stuff. I don't think he's looking for help, but rather wanting to share his own knowledge with others.
No, you guys do QUALITY videos. As much as I would love for a company to offer me a backhoe to try out, the quality of my videos just do not warrant it. You put the effort into it, you do a great job, I think it's worth it for companies to seek your endorsement.
Ive been following you guys for a while. I really enjoy your content and the things yall show here on youtube. Keep up the great work.
I know Nothing about Solar But to Me YOU ALL ARE A BIG DEAL!! LOVE YOU ALL..But Your Very Humble!! Bloopers I LOVE em!! ❤😂 God Bless and Take Care!! HUG them Boys!
Wow you guys how cool is this! Not a surprise though I though some time in the future you guys would go for that. Looking forward to seeing what you guys end up with on your panel set up.
I am so excited for y’all.
YAY!!!! Outtakes!!!
OK, my Monday morning cup has just been filled to overflowing!! Reality has struck the Green Acre Homestead again! Yippee!
Y’all are so awesome to do all that you have done practically by yourselves! Your family is very deserving of all of it and more! Blessings to you all💜💜💜💜
You both are so humble and grateful for your blessings, we here on this channel is blessed that you share and teach us! Thank you and continued blessings!
Ahaha THE blooper reel is back!! love the videos as always!!
Glad you like them!
I look forward to this project, its just a shame that you invested all that time, money and effort getting connected to the grid first. Well hindsight is something we all wish we had. Thanks for posting
Good evening Sam and Angela , once again nice to see you both with news of OFF GRID!
I still like the out takes! It just shows that you’ll are still human.
I would not be apologizing for what the Lord has companies do for you.
Keep rocking it guys.
Good luck. I’m in the process of doing the same less the panels. I bought an eg4 18 Kpv inverter and two 14.8 kwh wall mount batteries. My plan for now is to recharge the batteries via my generator. Maybe I will get panels later.
Man, I am excited for you guys!
Great job
So happy to see your solar panels were made in Cambodia....and, not China! Have heard some horror stories about Chinese made solar components! Congrats on your solar system! Knew you have wanted one since you moved to Tennessee. Green Acre Homestead has come a long way from the simple one-acre plot in North Carolina. P.S. The new workshop is amazing, too! I have enjoyed the build series on Samcraft! 👏👍✨😍❤
I'm SUPER interested in Solar. I've done a few small solar projects, but I need to learn the big stuff. I need this info.
Plus, who in their right mind would turn down an opportunity to use a mini excavator?
It ain't braggin, it's karma. You guys deserve any breaks you get.
This is a wonderful project! I think anyone on private wells and septic should invest in solar or solar/wind combo. If they hook up their septic pump and well to it, they immediately provide what everyone living with municipal water and sewer can only dream about. If I still lived out in a rural area, I would do it. I would hook up my freezer, refrigerator, a microwave and my furnace fan to it also. And I would build a tornado shelter.
Awesome please mark them solar series #1 #2 #3 etc 😊
One more time🤗
Oh is that turquoise/blue paint the soap shed? It looks so nice!
Ooooh can’t wait! I’ve dreamed of total off grid solar powered for last couple of decades.
We live in England so are not blessed with the solar friendly climate that you have, nonetheless, my husband will be watching all the technical stuff with interest, since being so northerly, (like Hudson Bay kind if northerly) we do get very long daylight hours in the summer, albeit overcast ones! Looking forward to seeing this exciting project progress.x
I'm excited for y'all how cool is that to get to try a mini x plus y'all got a great deal on some solar panels too 💖 woo hoo can't wait to watch the series
Yeah!!
Love your videos. Keep em coming.
