Now that is some bracing that can handle the Arizona wind, very nice. I see the Chef was fully protected this time 🙂
The Chef was really cooking
That’s pretty cool you were able to use that battery generator to cook up 2 yards. Really enjoying this solar panel video, love your work been watching you a few years, great crew you got, hi from Florida.

My favorite build series

You ain't lying 🤘🤘💪💪💪
Rad, thanks for sharing. Even the pros go back to basics with the wheelbarrow. Love it
Wheelbarrows work
Awesome job 💕👍 Chef 👨🍳 and you got it done. Be awesome to be able to run the Air conditioning off solar completely during the warm summer months. Won't have to have that guilty feeling running the AC at those in between temperatures 🤙
That's the plan
TY
That's a pretty cool solar system mount... and here I am thinking of making a poor man's temporary carport out of pvc... maybe it would be better to use a system like the one you used here. Looks like what you use for chain link fencing...
Yes it's very similar
Nice kit, May your solar envelope be free from powerline shadows.
No worries
that's a lot of scaffolding to put up, is it just over engineered for the sake of it or is there the risk of it falling down or being blown over or an earthquake type event in the area?
thanks
I'm no expert but I think once the solar panels are installed, we'll see the size of the "wing" or airfoil it creates and it will become apparent the structure's susceptability to wind forces. That's just a guess.
Yes it's designed for 120mph winds
That’s looking like a fun project. Cool video, thanks
Fun savings
Best Contractors I know of !!!

Recently finished a solar carport roof, which attaches on one side to the house rafters (panels slope rainwater into gutter) and to the ground on the other side, with ~12/1 slope and the panels overlapping slightly like shingles. I considered those aluminum structural fittings, which I've used before in industry (Hollaender, Diamond is another), but found them too pricey. Instead, I used 1-1/4" steel EMT 10 ft long and their fittings. If re-doing, I would use 1-1/2" or even 2" since the EMT deflected more than I liked over the 12 ft span with the panels up (60 lb ea). I added offset wire rope on the bottom of each tube to stiffen them, using fence fittings.
Sounds custom.
Good job
Great to see you back at it at the Casa De Odell.
Are the solar panels subsidized by the state?
No
FYI, there is a 30% federal tax rebate for home solar power systems.
Great video like always, looking forward to watching the next video. thanks!
TY
Yessssss he’s back

Cool, Great to watch, Waiting for more. Ray
Coming soon
Are you sure the cross braces going from back to middle front vertical pipes are correct? It seems that the other way around gives more stability to the longer vertical pipes at the back.
I don't change Engineered drawings.
I thought the same thing, but I came to the conclusion the top rails tie it all together.
I thought same thing til I saw all the rails that connect the 2 that the panels mount to
@@OdellCompleteConcrete This I can see as well indeed. It might be that structurally the connection between the longer pipes at the back to make them longer can't be centrally braced or would snap under wind loads.
Most likely, but time will tell for sure.
Great series, where did you get the kit?
Next Energy
thats great!! Come and do one for me!!
Great episode.

Welcome back!

Excelente trabajo saludos 👌👍

Hi David, long time, no see!😇❤💯👌👍💪
HI
Another amazing video. 💪💪💪💪💪
TY
Make a 6 inch chute that bolts to the end of the wheel barrow for pouring the sonotubes
I needed it
Very nice set up 👌🇦🇺😎🍺
TY
I may have missed it, but what brand of solar mount is this?
Whats spacing between posts side to side and front to back please
5'
can you just do sonotubes on the top part. Like doing a 2x6 frame around the hole to screw and level a sonotube section that goes only about 12" into the soil? Or does it have to go the full depth of the hole?
Full depth sono tube saves alot of concrete/money
@@OdellCompleteConcrete We already augered holes 6 feet deep by 16 inch diameter called in design. Could we just use a short piece of the sonotube for the part above ground level or is it required to have the sonotube all the way to the bottom of the hole. Thank you in advance.
David, why don't they galvanize rebar? Wouldn't that increase its life expectancy?'
Galvanized is not that great underground.
super mount....
TY
My 3" pipe cost 2,100 for 8 -21" threaded sticks lol. I bought diy 12.3kw for 22,000k plus the galvi 3" pipe, permit through regional 400.00, approval through Pueblo West Colorado 200.00, 420.00 for 4" meter socket through blackhills, and whatever in conduit, electrian for the new slot in electrical box bla bla money money
Why 3"?
What company, I was quoted 25K for the same size, a 12Kw from wholesale solar and with foreign made panels.
Sunwatts
Good to see you keeping busy brother
Always
TY
Careful out there after you set up the panels. Might find a snake under that shade.
I have already, Gopher Snake
This is the way
Yes
How much did that DIY kit cost.
8000
solar is the best thing since slice bread
I concur
Sweet 👍
TY
Man Bun Alert... RUclips needs a filter for that.
