Good introductory video, very basic, but gives the masses of people out there a good idea what solar is all about. Great work
high quality video! thx
Please make some videos on the type of roofs and the tiles used on them and for which tile roof we need which mounting hook???
Nice Job!
where are the solar panels are made?
I want to land how to instor solar panels
"use a reputable company " one that doesn't even give their employees safety boots? lol looks like they just grabbed a load of lads from the local pub
Now I love solar panels
I wouldn't recommend solo paneling
you lose a lot of loft space and I am now having trouble because my roof needs repairing and it's got solar panels on it and the insurance company
Are blaming the weight
they won't pay out
@@jackwatsonepic626the panels themselves only weigh 20kg
@@jackwatsonepic626 Agood roofer will be able to take your panels off, repair roof then put the panels back on.
@@raybans8712 They weight much less than 20kg.
@@king77703 I fit them every day
the price ranges? how many years warranty?
I work for a company that instals solar panels and warranity is set to 25+ years, and the price for lets say 50m2 of roof is around 7-10000 euros
Feed in tariff how do I get that?
You cant anymore, it was discontinued in 2019. FIT paid you for generation, now there is export tariff which only pays 5p for net amount to grid. Better to have battery and save 28p off bills.
2:46 - I cant believe these guys haven't ordered a proper scaffold for this film. Those last two panels were installed with a guy hanging off the roof with nothing below him. If my company was going to be featured by Which? then I would have made sure it was absolutely airtight on H&S.
Then you would have given a false image of your company? Present yourself as you do your work and don't lie about it. If you want to make everything look perfect for "film" then you do something wrong when off film.
@@lucaraaska8938 no the guy is right that looked doggy to me health and safety comes first ,I’m a scaffolder so I know
@@kevinjackson6387 yeah I didn't say it wasn't dodgy. I just commented on the part he said "If my company was going to be featured by which? Then I would have made sure it was absolutely airtight on H&S." Meaning he does not do that when not featured somewhere.
@@lucaraaska8938 yes because in the real world shit goes wrong and sometimes there's things that are not perfect such as the scaffolder hasn't finished the scaffold all the way to the edge and the guys have to lean over 2 or 3 feet when fitting panels or bird mesh. Would you like to write a further paragraph to discuss this further?
That roof will need new tiles within 10 years it's got the old 1f membrane with is not used any more the ridges look like they have been buttered up on the overs to stop water getting in, bad idea unless you don't mind paying a massive bill for removal/re fit when you roof is leaking unless you have a new roof of course
Done buy roofers using correct equipment and defiantly not ones wearing trainers and joggers working for a solar panel company
I wear trainers and joggers and work on very high end roofs.
yes, that is a cost. I guess, thats why people say that the solar industry creates jobs. You are paying them. ;(
why can't u just add a battery so when night time comes it will use the stored electricity instead of the grid?
well it's 4 years old, battery banks are fairly common now.
Because batteries often can more than double the cost of the system, and introduce a 40-60% inefficiency. If you're on a budget, or looking for making a profit, batteries are a bad idea.
thank you for your response

np
So what happens in years to come when the roof wants repairing ?
Well the roof in this has 50 years left in it
@@raybans8712 so I still stand by my original statement then what happens in 50 years time ?
@@jackwatsonepic626 the solar panels will last around 30 years
@@jackwatsonepic626 efficiency will be down to about 50% after 15 years
@@jackwatsonepic626 I’m a solar installer, I’m sick of the sight of the things 😆
Can you put the panels in yourself
Panels probably yes but electrical work not. But installing the panels on your roof is like 70% of the work depending on your roof type. You would need to discuss it with your electrician.
I did something similar with Avasva solutions.
Can’t imagine how much sun the uk would get 😂
Just enough to pay for your tv a year for 10 minutes lol
how much it cost?
Love how they didn’t cut the tiles and left them lifted. Leak installers
Why are Which using a firm that does not have their men working safely Where are the fall arrest systems?
yes I would agree with this
Wearing trainers as well. Unreal!
With Avasva plans doing something like that was easy.
There is no sun in UK :)
They don't need sun, they work from 'light'
Why did you say AC is safer for use in your home when it's pretty common knowledge it's roughly 5 times more deadly than DC?
That's more like a guide how NOT to install solar panels. Sliding the roof tile so far up can cause damage to the roof membrane. You need to remove the roof tile. If you wander why you get leaks after solar panel installation, that's why.
Watch and read the instructions of all manufacturers first before making a video.
sorry solar energy is a waste of time and money in this country
