All that money and still needing a top up.
Which there's nothing wrong with from a normal users perspective, but as essentially a display piece for Battleborn?
LMFAO
Anddd that they're battleborn at all too
207kWh System... In 12V??? 😬

It's all relative.
Some of us wouldn't consider a 48kw system, excessive.

That is 3 phase, not split phase.
Seems they were almost starting from scratch. With that many outbuildings and acreage 3 phase could work

I saw this video some days ago and dropped a comment. Dude was saying he did great for his client.

48?? I got 34 and I want to triple it at least.

He means kW. Not kWh. 48kW of output is absolutely wild to me personally.
I meant excessive in cost of equipment used.

Gotcha. So that is like 3 of the best on demand tankless water heaters at the same time type of power.
Don’t forget radiant heat floors

I definitely agree with that.

Catch, make or grow everything you can.
There not, they have back up diesel generator tied in for back up.
If someone knows the location - what does PVWatts show per kW of PV for this area?
I missed that in the video; the wife kept asking many questions about the installation.
If they do not have a wood/pellet stove, I would believe they use quite a bit of diesel.
It's gotta be sponsored.

Hey, it's no big deal.
Just run the generator all day long and the batteries should get you through the night. (Assuming everyone is just sleeping)

So the guy gets an A for effort, F for execution.
Battleborn gets an A+ for product placement.

In a vid like this one, we would normally see a review of the actual solar collected and loads out, discussion of the effectiveness of the system, however seems they skipped over showing us any actual data at all. Given the location, hauling in diesel better be done during summer and store a year's supply on site.
I understand that Chevron and BP are bidding on sponsorship for the next video
.Ahh how else to the justify the tracks on the suburban? They make daily trips for fuel
Love to see some compatible reviews to some of the Victron marketing wank videos they put out. Seem almost on par with this (albeit much less extreme).

Quit picking on people with MT pole mounts.
Winter with snow and don't have the panels tilted more.
No need for designing for a high snow load if the panels are tilted more vertical. Another thing I noticed was one pole mount is not at the very top of the pole. These are designed to have a bolt across the top so the mount can't slide down but it might come off with enough uplift. Maybe when I install the 3 poles this summer, I use a bolt thru the pole like they did.

29.16 kw of panels. 405 kwh of Lithium Batteries
Using PV watts for Sierraville, CA, and tilting for max production in December, a 60 degree tilt, south facing:
Using EG4 Powerpros, 15 would cost you $57,000 (less for buying in quantity, does not include install).
Might have considered Bi-Facial panels for the extra production in winter. Mount them vertically, and you don't have to worry as much about clearing snow.

Lets say you vertically mounted 405w bi-facial panels (with 405w production per side), and faced east/west:
East Facing Side:
West facing side:
about 10% more total production

West facing side:
