Excellent and unusual installation. I reckon Cory could power the grid with all his quips and chatter.
Gotta love that balancing feature on Victron, because it works in reverse too. Currently using it right now during the negative periods on Octopus.
When a negative price comes in, all the electric air heaters turn on, and the battery starts charging, but will only charge up to the point where 50A is being pulled from the grid. If a heater turns off, the charge increases its charge.
So many uses for such a simple tool.
I'm using Node Red on mine to control schedules for saving sessions, amongst other things, fantastic system.
This is easily a £75k install with the amount of panels and batteries. Great to see you getting these sized jobs in, incredible growth. Fantastic workmanship. Good to see the team back together. Very excited to see how KNX integrates into this. You’re crossing into my world now 😉
Yeah he was not poor lol 😂
If this is £75k then 😊
this will cost around 15-25k at max where im from.

Merry Christmas Cory. 🎄
Wow... definitely not just a pretty face (reputation earned during your Artisan Electric time). Your videos are becoming most interesting in whole sparky genre.
Keep on good work Cory.
Great editing too.
Becoming?! 😉
Merry Christmas Cory for you and your loved ones.
Crack of a project you have there. Love it, love it, love it!
Christmas morning and under the tree,
what do we find but a Cory delivery.
Every boy's wish list of toys he could long for.
Barges and bales of panels to string arrays from
Batteries and strut to build a display from.
Jetty and mud and water galore
Wind off the eastury coming ashore.
Cory narrates the story and context
Leaving us wonder what project he will do next.
Magic this morning is what I am feeling
Stories and Projects and Laughs a plenty
I only wish I was again Twenty.
Thanks Cory for your continued great content this year. Enjoy a Merry Christmas and Great 2024
Wow wow wow !!!! Your best video to date. Blows a certain other channel out of the water. The best electrical channel on YT by a million volts.
Be careful not to burn yourself out. Hope you do take someone on( poaching them from a certain other channel would be awesome if practical).
Hope you have some down time over Christmas with family and friends. TC
Yes. It really should pay off to be an honest and good person. I just don't know why, but that channel always gave off asshole vibes from the owner.
@@oskar6747 what other channel? I love some youtube drama
@@CatplankI get the vague feeling these people may be referring to the channel Cory worked for before having his own company.
The isolation transformer is very important for a marine installation like this. The primary use case is the elimination of galvanic currents between boats via the earth wire (assuming the earth has been bonded to the hull as it should be). Steel boats in a marina connected to shore power can effectively turn into a battery and the hulls over time can corrode away. Breaking the earth wire with the transformer protects the vessel from this risk. If for some reason you bring the vessel into dry dock/on land, and need to connect to shore power, the jumper in the unit should be changed so that the ships earth wire is connected to shore.
Best video yet!!! Can’t wait to see what they do with the KNX etc 👍🏼👍🏼. Please film it!!
Definitely!!
Ripp off merchants sounds like a video which needs to be done. Great content for xmas day.
Tell me about it
Did she got to CEF by any chance?
Funny that a wholesaler in the same area tried to rip me off once. Do we really have to check all prices online these days? Well done for having words so forcefully
Hope you and your family had a great Christmas Cory!
The projects are detailed, interesting and informative! Keep up the great work as always!!
17:08 - Someone's been to CEF (and I'm nothing to do with electricians or the industry) 😂
Merry Christmas Cory and your lady Wife, I really enjoyed this and hopefully this is the way forward for the electrical industry with more installs like this..
Editing on this video is simply 🔥
Another great video Cory !!
Have agreat Christmas & look forward to seeing more of your projects in 2024
Merry Christmas Cory!
Great video as always keep it up!
Great video Cory. Hope you and your wife have a happy Christmas and new year.
Another amazing video Corey so interesting . As I’m in the Solar industry. . Merry Christmas and happy year to all @oyelectrial. .
What a fascinating job, Cory, really looking forward to the next installment. Did you sort out the cheeky little rip off merchant and the stuffing gland in the end?
Happy Christmas to you both, best wishes for 2024.👍🎄🧑🎄🌟
Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas to you and your wife.
17:53 GO CORY, onya mate well done !
Have a great Christmas and all the best :)
Merry Christmas Cory fantastic video!👍🏻
I think this is your best video ever 🙌
Nice beanie by the way 😂
Thanks mate!
I wouldn’t have put the wind-turbine right in the Starlink antenna’s view of the sky. Starlink antennas are phased arrays, they track satellites across the sky without moving mechanically, so that pole and wind-turbine will be in the way when satellites are being tracked in that direction.
That’s only a temp spot whilst BT line was damaged 😎👍🏼. It’ll need a permanent solution once it’s rewired with KNX
Merry Christmas Cory... another TV quality production 🫶👌
Great being able to monitor the performance on-line!
Happy Christmas mate, I hope you're able to find some time to rest today and spend your valuable time with friends and family. You deserve a wonderful day.
For a windturbine to work, it needs to be 10m above anything withing 100m. Put it on a taller mast. Istabreeze 2k is a nice model that does work. The little ones are chinatoys unfortunatly.
I can feel the pain in the your hand from the end. Big ooof
Excellent project Cory. That’s easily the best thing to upsize the 16a supply. With 75kwh onboard they probably won’t even need to draw from shore power. I guess exporting is a no-no on a marina? Or can you dump 3.5kwh once full into the feed? Hope you’re having a good break.
Well done mate ! Come do the marina solar next!
Definitely mate! Thanks for your help on this one! 🙏🏼
It takes me back 30 years using those isolating transformers, we used to use them in really expensive bathrooms in Bishops Avenue to isolate earths. They work like a yellow site safety transformer, but have an equal number of primary and secondary windings giving 230v in and 230v out
Thanks for inviting us along! We loved being part of this
Our pleasure!
Awesome video. Inspired me to learn more about using Isolation transformers.
Glad to hear it!
Awesome video, very interesting as always! Happy New Year to you, wishing you all the best for 2024!
This reflects very well on Newland Solutions, it’s respectable they’re willing to test things themselves before offering it. Putting their money where their mouth is.
I agree
Great installation! Merry Christmas to you both. Did you ever recover your wireless microphone?
Loved the bit about open circuit current measurement!
Really enjoyed this episode Cory 👊👊👊
Great video pal! 100% need to name and shake that wholesaler!
Wicked! Luv this video
I'm a geek..... Loved it
Great work guys! Wonderful and rewarding career installing renewables. I build wind farms in Canada🇨🇦.
Sounds great!
Fantastic job
Thank you very much!
Absolute legend 👍🏻 great work as always
A huge squawk from this old electrogeek to say thanks for another awesome video!
Our pleasure! Thanks for stopping by Jim!
@@corymacMerry Christmas and here's to an awesome new year
I'm a marine engineer so I found this interesting... please make sure there's no leakage to that hull as it will eat the zine anodes that protect the hull from corrosion.
Merry Christmas 🎅
Content don’t get better than this 🔥
Thanks Sam!
Hi Cory happy new year buddy great video all is going well as so is my treatment so it might not be long and you could give a old boy a days work showing you how we did our cable runs and wiring up etc etc if you like to that is. Love to all woody x
I like Artisan Electric, but man, you making awesome content. Love it!
I appreciate that!
Not sure I would install the starlink dish under the rotating wind turbine blades and next to the metal pole.
Yep it can cause few seconds of packet loss every few minutes.
Hello Cory & wife have a happy Christmas 🎄🎄🎄🎄
Top work. Just wondering if you consider not using rails with the S3! clamps on the standing seam to keep the panels closer to the roof and limit the uplift?
I’ve got a standing seam roof here and we just used the direct panel clamp kit to fix direct to the seams and do away with the weight of the rails.
Brilliant video. Class content.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Watching Cory on Christmas morning... 😂. Beats the c#@# on the BoringBroadcastChumps channel any day👍.
Merry Christmas matey and hope you do a piece in the new year publicaly spanking that wholesalers who tried to rip your wife off. Shocking 😲.
Ho Ho Ho.... have a good one 🍻🥂
Loving the unique content Cory.
Thanks!
Aaahhh sorry to see the fate of your microphone! You reminded me of a time in army basic training where we were taught the importance of tying all pocket items into your jacket. Penknives, compasses, spoons, even pens should all be tied to the jacket. Then, to make sure we'd done it right, our instructor took each of our smocks (jackets), opened all the pockets and shook them upside down over a stream in Brecon. The stream was shallow enough for people to find their departed property, but deep and cold enough to make the experience un-enjoyable. It was a good lesson, perhaps something for you to consider? I know you won't always be dangling on a crane over water, but you never know when you'll next find something expensive falling off you into an inaccessible area, and you'll kick yourself when it happens.
Fantastisk video som vanlig Cory! Keep up the good work :D
Finding true level on the boat would probably be really easy using a plumb bob or a Loddsnor as you would say in Norwegian :)
This is awesome stuff Cory! Lee up the great work. 🙌🙌
I’d love to volunteer a day to help on one of your projects should the need for some help arise. I’m not far from you in Southampton.
Love the vids Cory and this is a treat. Wondering why we can't see wind on the VRM though? Wouldn't it show as a separate input?
Over a 100k subscribers. Boom. Always great content dude.
Thanks mate!
victron... victron everywhere! solid kit though. i use the 250 / 70 mppt and never had a problem with it. helps run my entire home from 2 panels in the summer time. plus the 7.5kWh of storage and 2kW inverter of course.
Didn't realise you were so close to Portsmouth ✌️😎
Hey Cory is that wicor marina down in portchester ?
How to catch a mullet with a whiteclaw 😂😂
Merry Xmas Cory
Great video Cory, probably your best yet. What with microphone loss, dodgy wholesalers and the comment about the drone arm being broken as the cause..... really - you probably did that crashing it!! 😂😂
Keep up the good work and hope you get the helping hand you need. All I will say is stay small and be realistic - don't grow the business too big else it'll be a royal PITA and you'll find yourself in the situation like your previous employer 😉
How will the aluminium rails cope with the corrosion from the sea salt? Love the barge looks so much fun.
Just watch your head when cleaning those panels....the blades from the wind generator 😮
I'm fairly sure All Vessels especially metal hulled ones shoud have Galvaic Seperation to protect the hull from being eaten away prematurely by electrolysis!
did you use tinned marine spec cable for the battery dc side?
Please send link for Wind turbine, so we can see what its adding to your system.
Great job you guys, your such a contridication Cory taking silly risk and promoting PPE. Merry Christmas mate! and a happy new year looking forward to the next job!!
😅
Great vid pal it’s good to see you’ve taken self employment to another level
Really interesting video, i am from a electrical marine background so am really interested in how this goes
Oh you were right with the plumb level problem you pick a line and work with it.
I will be honest we don't use unistrut due to the vibration aboard ship so almost exclusively welded brakets with nylon nuts or directly tap with cable tray for cable management,
Out of interests why didnt he just go for a inboard geny to work with the systems installed and completely cut out the shore power as i would think the power would add to his mooring charge, and if it did have propulsion i would think the sea intlet would still be there but tide maybe the issue
And that crane connection.......that is the kind of thing you find on old barges its rife sadly
Out of interest are you using water tight gland blocks for the cable runs or since its not going to moved just doing what works best for you?
All vessels of any decent size use a isolation transformer standard practice for the exact reason you saw also never will you find a rcd aboard it will be double pole mcbs.
But really interested in how you guys went about your choices as you have the marine requirements and the pv system requirements which makes it a difficult job.
Also I can't see that windmill working with the vibrations it will be annoying as all hell 😂
Sorry for all the questions as this is pardon the pun in my wheelhouse
Great video
And merry Xmas to you and the Mrs
Agreed the vibrations from those fast turning wind generators are the reason they died a death on houses, never mind attached to a steel drum. Oh, and the pathetic output.
Won't all those batteries make that vessel lean to one side? Also, how will they keep those panels clean?
You are making some really interesting videos compared to the other sparks out there. Even more interesting as half way through I realised I know where this is!
Thanks!
I like your video Cory 👍👍👍👍😀
If you have a boat with a shore connection you always always! Fit a iso transformer. The earth leakage can corrode the anodes and after that the hull itself. Biggest sinking reason for boats is galvanic corrosion and condense water rust on the inner bottom.
There’s what we’ve fitted, 1-1 galvanic Victron
‘Why did the chicken cross the road’ 😭 - that’s got me good
Great project just a bit surprised why an apartment would need a 15kW inverter and all the batteries seem a bit overkill.
Honestly the best sparky youtuber out there hahaha.
Thanks man! Much appreciated
Just had a quick look on the vrm portal where is your wind turbine data is it linked in with the solar ? Great vid bud im panel envious now i have 25 bifacial big 550watts coming next week for my offgrid build im doing your a real inspiration keep up great content
Sounds awesome!!
More info on the turbine in the next video 😁
Awesome! ❤
Thanks! 😄
Nice work. I use the Survey 200R to registere Solar Irradiation to calculate performance ratios, I wonder if someone else is doing it.
if u use a laser level it will automaticallyu change with the rocking of the boart mate as its on a gimble
Oh man that "Tesla Starlink" comment made me choke on my tea.
what a great project, tomorrows world today❤
Thanks! 😁
this has been the most interesting project from Cory I have seen, I am a keen believer in Solar, but I have a 32 panels system in Spain and I only have one box Hybrid charger inverter, why does victron have so much gumpf, my battery is unfortunately a 10kwh Li-ion battery from LG, i actually needed about 30kwh, but they were 6000 Euros each. great video and great job, £75 grand would have been too much for me, I paid about 26000 euros
I definitely didn’t charge £75k 😂. Although it could have been reasonable to charge, I was very competitive for a very fantastic long term customer relationship .
Nice
Much more interesting than a board change or car charger, ex marine spark myself .. You will find a lot of the water is through what we call "ship sweat" happens on boats with storage etc at waterline .. Not a fan of the lynx system as those mega fuses cant handle the short circuit current of a lifepo4 and i lay money the customer will be calling back to get the wind turbine removed because the vibration will annoy the hell out of them .. great content, merry Christmas bud
The batteries have a 200 amp fuse inside, we’ve also got additional fuses in the lynx 😁👍🏼. With the wind turbine… watch this space 🤣👍🏼. Thanks mate 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yeah i know the lynxs are fused, fitted hundreds of them-but only with wet cells, I meant interruption current, from memory i think a mega has a 2ka whereas a lifepo4 at 58v will need in excess on 10ka.. interested to see what you do with the turbine.. its a challenging job esp on a steel structure that's sitting in water that transmits sound 5x faster than in air
Mate… are you on Instagram? I’d love to show you the outcome of the turbine 🤣👍🏼
Hardly ever use it, but just followed you .. do much work with johnny no neck these days?
Rolls batteries - whoever built that PbSO4 system wasn't mucking around.
For the wind turbine video, any chance of showing how much it generated over a week or so?
Absolutely 👍🏼
Great video, the VRM doesn’t seem to work anymore it just asks you to login
Thought it read 19.9 Mohms?
Laser level? Magnet to side of wall? At least it will have some level, even if you locked laser line in place?
Laser level uses gravity, as does a bubble in a spirit level. You have to measure off what’s there already in a moving boat
How much was the wind turbine
I like the name of the boat..” MAC 1010” 👌
Have a good xmas, here is £2 towards a new mic and drone 😂
