I am just sad that because of stupid politics you guys have to pay this price I just paid 3000USD for an 8KW system in Pakistan Get rid of those tarrifs on solar panels, batteries and inverters from China and stop benefiting Elon Musk

Who cares what people say I think over building is better and like what you did Also, Pluto is our 9th planet!!!!
Comment from : @buoug

Why did you buy three power walls rather than one PowerWall and two DC expansion packs?
Comment from : @GamerplayerWT

I would've liked to see a loan breakdown if you took one, or if you paid cash My energy bill averages about $300 a month, but if panels last 25-35 years, and a loan will cost $300 a month for 10 years, I think that would be a win Means my energy bill is essentially locked in at $300 a month, and after 10 years, I'll have zero energy bills for hopefully 15-25 years If for the following 10-25 years you placed that $300 into a savings account, you'll have $36-90k cash saved on electric bills in a savings account, meaning next panel setup you do, you can pay in full with cashbrbrA lot of people may have a larger home, but not a readily available cash pile of $50k to just drop on solar panels right away Would be great to see what you would do in a situation like that

This is so innovative! It's setting the bar high for other products in the market
Comment from : @powoxi

I mean because your Tesla thing works with the solar panel that you have that means when you pay $0 you pay $62

Bro, time to drop the SWASTICAR
Comment from : @Dooom480

If i pay two times as much as 48k dollars so 96k dollars my bill will still be zero!?
Comment from : @Meodus_Humbinerbernecki

A lot of people dont take in account that you can charge your car with it you are also savingbrYou can store more energy and sell it back to the grid you can do more than just use it
Comment from : @jorgesalinas3367

I love the idea of solarpanels but you couldn't pay me all the money in the world to buy something from Elon Musk
Comment from : @Alexander-wq7qo

Terrible ROI, everyone who understands finance dont think this is smart You dont want to know much you will have in 10 years with 48k investment
Comment from : @hessulipoika13

For me it’s more like 2 months to get my inverter back online but they added 1 inverter cuz 1 was over working so now I have 2

Comment from : @srobin9282

What about battery age, degradation, repair, maintenance, etc 🤔
Comment from : @SavanaT

lmao 136 years and that's with tax credits and not accounting for the time value of money y'all are tripping if you think it's worth it
Comment from : @geneherald8169

Can you help me figure out out my solar panel system? I still have a big electricity bill still and I don’t understand how the solar panels work with the electric bill
Comment from : @krystalvillarreal6894

pluto is a planet! great vid
Comment from : @bandit8623

My electric bill was $600 this month I'm getting solar panels asap
Comment from : @TheMattdawg19

$48,000 compounding at 10 for 14 years is $193,52368 That’s $145,52368 in profit before taxes or $123,69513 profit after tax at 15 capital gain Comes out to $73628 a month 🤷🏻‍♂️
Comment from : @deepakdotjoshi

What’s the cost when it’s time for a new roof? The change over costs if not prefigured into the homeowner insurance…

Comment from : @madrabbit9007

Awesome video I was just wondering if we could estimate and factor in repair and replacment cotsts into the breakeven math to have a better calculation Thanks
Comment from : @Jashnoshoe

If your house is energy efficient on a 3000 sq ft house with a Tesla it shouldn’t be no more than 300$ a month 200) without Tesla
Comment from : @toyarj37

We need a what do u do or did for a living
Comment from : @WisconsinMoparEnthusiasts

In Italy we can only have 3kW for a personal home, if you want to have more you have to buy it as a business or own a business
Comment from : @mrgeppetto4454

What about winter season December, January, February
Comment from : @ArmineBabaian-u3f

Of course your electricity bill is $0 you paid $48,000!!!!!!!!!!!! Please make a video few years after if it was worth it :) nice vid
Comment from : @jaskamalmann3341

You won't be living in the house in 136 years
Comment from : @LetsGoPats819

48k is crazy, best to wait for price & efficiency improvements
Comment from : @MegaMijit

136 yrs to break even that is not that bad but!!!!! The Tesla power wall is estimated to last 10 to 15 years Those batteries are so expensive it looks like you are at best pre paying your electric bill every 14yrs Granted replacing only batteries is way less expense than installing whole system but still batteries are extremely expensive I’m just not convinced that solar is the way to go
Comment from : @ericmeeks123

Wow the solar car that you used to transport the workers and the panels must’ve been 0$ too And when they mined the resources that went in to producing them must’ve cost 0$ too And every other step in constructing your homebrbrIt’s good to use solar But it won’t save the world Gas gives you tons of bang for the buck
Comment from : @Comezehere

Can you do a teardown video of a RevoPower Rebel? I've been using my rebel for 3 years and it's survived 2 hurricanes!!!! It kept my wife and daughters safe and comfortable at home during the last storm, want to see your thoughts now!
Comment from : @MPPT_Walter

Great video! We are currently building a home that will run on solar out in Texas near Austin We decided to go with EG4 inverters Hopefully, our data will look similar or better The more we know, the more we can improve on our future builds
Comment from : @PerfectFitHomes

Plz stop recommending these solar panels You are openly advertising solar panels which is completely obsolete technology,and is going to be a scrape within one or two years,secondly importers know this very well, that is why all the junk and over stocked panels from all over the world are sold here as usual WINDTURBINE IS THE NEXT AND LATEST JUST LIKE ELECTRIC CARS DON'T GET brATTRACTED WITH RATES THESE ARE JUST JUNKS THROWN ON US TO MAKE GOOD PROFITS FROM NON SALEABLE JUNK OF SOLAR PANELS
Comment from : @badarcare

I’m confused by your excitement/optimism about the 14 year breakeven You’re going to finally break even and have 14 year old solar panels on your roof You could have saved a lot of hassle by just investing your $30k at 7 and using the proceeds to pay your electric bill
Comment from : @Brianjohn222

Without the battery for the peak hours even if you produce the same energy that your using, srp will charge you for the energy that you using during those hours?
Comment from : @PerroFu

All with zero bills do you have a loan fee and or monthly pole fee to power company
Comment from : @bobcoleman226

Love the humor at the end, awesome
Comment from : @redelf1968

This is my ordinary factory made Dell CRT monitor for the solar panel energy bill
Comment from : @jwstein1993

The question is so incredibly stupid! The thought process was ridiculous! How you made decisions was comical You di almost EVERYTHING wrong! But yes, of course using solar power makes sense! But wow! How could it all be so cluelessly discussed!
Comment from : @SolarSaysWhat

I was told the extra power i make but dont use i have ti pay for??
Comment from : @Pay_attention_Benny

Take 40 years to break even
Comment from : @petespike5000

How long does it take for the panels to degrade to failure though
Comment from : @Portfelio

Only a 9 increase! As a PGE utility customer, I'm jealous
Comment from : @DanielOLeary

85kwh is like 5 families' worth of energy consumption
Comment from : @avefreetimehaver5154

F the company for charging connection fee, vampires running the business
Comment from : @Athrunwong

Been thinking about this lately and this helped! Thank you!
Comment from : @John_the_baptized

Warning: Here in North Texas Tesla solar maintenance response time is currently 35 months If you get Tesla, count on losing month of production every time it breaks

$0 electric bill $20k in debt
Comment from : @jcepri

Rather misleading on cost because you are paying for a lease or loan

They privatized the sun? Man that's sad

Comment from : @Inficapitalpartners

Awesome that you went solar! Question, why didn’t you go with a more efficient/less degradation panel? Was it because of the initial cost?
Comment from : @mavicmitch8085

48k lol basically got screwed up the ass
Comment from : @josejr8671

Why do live in a hot climate if you don't like the temperature?
Comment from : @david-reason

I think your cost is higher because of how big the system is and it is Tesla However, having an EV vehicle makes this work for you Definitely a good investment My biggest concern is what is the damage to the roof? I think I might hire someone for the panel install so if something goes wrong it is on them
Comment from : @adamkreuz9068

I think you can continue to get returns on your investment by taking advantage of the Inflation Reduction Act incentives and fully electrifying your home Eg, swap out the gas HVAC with a heat pump, swap out a gas stovetop with an induction top, etc
Comment from : @abc123abc99

Guessing you bumped Elon's net worth about $500M with all those Wall LOL Great video, thanks!
Comment from : @DailyBeat-m9u

The planet debate was diabolical, bro!😂😂
Comment from : @brasstime

Lol - 14 year buyback is just insane!! Got to be a cheaper way to do this

How long is the warrenty on the solar system?

There's no planets And they are lying to us
Comment from : @CollinLutz-p9e

Isn’t the system life about 25 years though?
Comment from : @arcademaster1

I installed a 12,400 Solar array with 30kW battery bank for 15k Payback is in 3 years Saving about $3000 a year I don’t live in the desert I live the in the Appalachian mountains I also had to install a raised grown array using a pergola design
Comment from : @Alphasig336

How much is your payment on car forgot to include that

Comment from : @NickWindham

That’s 14 years of my current bill to break even damn!
Comment from : @CarlitoswayDR

If you live in Puerto Rico, you have a hurricane, solar is priceless Your house is the only one with the lights on and no noise from a generator
Comment from : @TheBeeBuzz23

great video Thanks!
Comment from : @Zed-gb4zf

The tax part confuses me What if I don’t normally owe in taxes but I have 7k due to me to in federal taxes for the solar panels How does this get factored in
Comment from : @FiftyCal

Best video I have seen covering electricity self sufficiency Thanks !
Comment from : @antoniosvorrias9100

a few factors not factored in - i think there is a 30 probability that energy prices could go vertical up 20-25 per yr AI and more are drivng energy demand sky high and we are in first inning i think 25 chance gasoline prices could double in next 5 yrs - i think 75 chance dollar and all fiat declines signficantly - with longevity meds aroudn the corner avg life exectpancy for healthy 50 year old could be 100 - so main decision point ends up being how long will dome stay in the home
