1. Great video, check us out and let us know if we can work together to create
   more awareness about wind and solar.

2. very very informative … thanku

3. this is very inspiring for me….i have been very vocal for solar energy
   from my school days….this is what i dreamed of…i am happy to see it
   going big…solar is the future…!

4. Informattive,excellent,thanks for sharing

5. Fantastic documentary. Solar is so elegantly simple & beautiful. Thank you.

6. Should soon be 10 billion views

7. Thanks for uploading this Fantastic documentary and thank you Germany for
   showing us the way

8. Inspirational. And a force for good against the corrupt energy corporations.

9. Superlative stuff !

10. Little by little one goes far. poco a poco uno se va legos. yi tian yi tian
    de. :)

11. Should be 220 million views !!!!

12. Idea : Great Information: Superb Future:Bright Laughter at 43:35 priceless
    :)

13. the world can be really a much better place if people put aside conflicts
    greed evil and silly religions … we can even become gods …science can
    make all dreams come true …anyways this will happen sooner or later
    …but time is the price to pay for humanity to mature

14. He is correct about the batteries if you use a low voltage battery system..

    IE: 48 volt or 24 Volt, BAD deal,,, to get 80% or better storage out of
    your batteries you need a 120volt battery system. Also it helps to keep
    your panels cool, splash water on them and you will see the difference.
    15/20%

15. Hi MJ, I don’t know if anyone has pointed this out previously, but you
    can’t add percentages together to come up with the total power loss. You
    have to consider the power loss over each item. For example, a 40% loss on
    100 units leaves 60 units. A further 25% loss (on 60units) leaves 45 units.
    However, you added the percentages together which would have given the
    result as 65% loss leaving only 35 units. So the overall losses are not
    quite as bad as you calculated. Hope this helps.

16. PS please never splash water on a solar panels it could crack if the panels
    are hot and the water is too cold. And never modify windshield wipers on
    solar arrays wipers are for cars only

17. hahaha ” aaalllooo youuchuberrsss” good video man !!

18. All info is educational but I’m a licensed master electrican through out
    California and have been installing solar for about 15 years now i have
    done commercial and residential solar jobs and have assisted in that solar
    project as a solar consultant for the Mojave desert solar project plant
    ,that supply’s power for the city of Riverside Ca . but when all is said
    and done you will loose what you loose but for the most part if you size it
    correctly and add deep cycle batteries for a home all will be A OK at most
    you will have more worries when a solar panel breaks and having to wait a
    week for another one to get ordered in.

19. Have you though about fabricating a mount for a car window washer and wiper
    on your solar panel? when they starting to get dirty just flick the switch
    and let the wiper clean it, i think this would come in very handy if your
    panel is mounted high up and hard to reach. Just a though.

20. excellent info!!!…….ive fabbed 3 tracking solar arrays for the back
    yard and your numbers will definatly help in the tweaking of the
    system….what the heck..its a hobby…Lol

21. Really nice videos and I really appreciate your hard work put in here, but
    I see a mathematical flaw in this video. When you add up percentage losses
    you just sum it up like 2%+10%+5%+3%+7%+30%=57%, but that is wrong, because
    if let’s say you have 100W of energy – 2% power tolerance = 98W, then 98W
    gets 10% heat loss = 88,2, then 88,2 – 5% because of dirt = 83,79, then
    those 83,79W go through wires and loses 3% more and go down to 81,28 then –
    7% = 75,6W – 30% (batteries) = 52,9W left (100 – 52,9 = 47,1W and 47,1%
    lost from 100), so instead of sum of 57% this should be around 47,1%. You
    just can not sum up %, because your next loss will always lose some part
    only from that amount which is left from previous losses not from full
    primary amount. It can look like a little mistake, but sometimes numbers
    can differ radically if you just sum up percentages, just imagine if you
    have four losses of 25% each in a row, then by adding up you get 0 energy
    left, but in reality there is still 31,64% of starting energy left after it
    goes through all those four losses of 25% in a row.

22. I dont understand what if i live in South cali and i have a 1000Watt System
    and its around 80F or 100 on a high in the summer what would my loss be if
    they get hit by the sun from Noon – 7 at night please Help Let me know if
    you need more info

24. My critique, trying to help. Maybe purely on a sales type, than arguing.
    From a base point, depicting energy production from a max, descending to
    various “losses”, sounds technical, but it’s (sorry) you habitual way of
    deducing life decisions. That’s only to say, it’s personal to you, not
    universal. That “cup half full” thing, basically. That is to say, without
    solar you are at ZERO. Therefore, 0 is the starting point, & ALL energy
    production exist in positive terms. The only “loss” of energy, is drawing
    from the grid. 1,000 watts isn’t a 30% loss, it’s a 1,000% increase from
    non solar. If the conditions only produce that much, it’s not a loss;
    unless you convince yourself it is. Compare it to drawing from the grid,
    that might help. I like this though. We, humanity, needs this; people like
    you. Thanks.

25. I have a portable solar generator I bought from Solutions From Science. It
    has 2 – 100 watt panels and 3 – 80 AH batteries. I was trying to get it to
    run a chest freezer and a battery backup sump pump charger, it provided
    power for both of them for about 3 days when it showed the batteries
    starting to weaken. the unit can be expanded up to 4- 100 panels and 4 – 80
    AH batteries. Just was trying to figure out how much power I can get from
    this setup without using the AC charger the unit comes with to charge the
    batteries. Thanks for the video !

26. I want solar panel system installed at home,I was told it is not cost
    effective ,speaking in generalities i.e.the initial cost of installation
    …concerned thanks in advance I subscribed 

27. Holy multimeter batman.

36. Great video, i’m going off the grid with our help and the hydro-sonic water
    heater found here: ｗｗｗ.ｍｉｎｉｓｉｔｅｃｒｕｓｈｅｒ.ｃｏｍ/h1

37. This is a great video, I have just set up / setting up a small grid tie
    setup @ 600w and a separate 800AH battery bank and MTTP controller. The
    info you have given here has made things much easier to understand. Thanks
    for the video. Paul.

38. Thanks for this info, very informative.
