Many consumers hesitate to take extreme steps like solar heating or new roof panels or even a wind turbine to promote personal or household energy efficiency. The temptation to be energy independent and run the meter backward involves freestanding towers that didn’t exist in the backyard during the days of our childhood.
But the shutterbug instinct can take over and provide assistance to other green thumbs and project enthusiasts. Join the eco-friendly effort by creating usable videos showcasing home refit efforts. Videographers of various installs of wind and solar power help home shoppers judge for themselves which sets, methods, and equipment is best to buy.
Not everyone is a fan of those things called instruction manuals. Especially when they fold out into 35 separate squares and are printed in 35 languages. If a new solar panel installer has never seen the things installed, they will need some help and advice getting those inverters right.
Every install option, from power outlets to inset wall shunts needs to be surveyed in advance for conservative installation by home users. Panel array voltages and transfer switches can sort hundreds of watts before storms or to compare current before or after maintenance.
Roof installation of solar panels can take en entire afternoon of hot hot heat if the steps aren’t followed right. But also wind turbine installation seems much too technical for many home owners. Seeing videos of “normal” people and not just tech heads and geeks install these devices is important.
Videos per state, per model, per amp meter, are needed for installation of alternative energy solar panels and wind turbine energy collectors. If a new user or home installer does not know a lighting circuit from a panel transfer switch, some video coaching is recommended.
By surveying another home owner’s meters and device assembly, wiring, conduits, and panels, they can more easily analyze which device and which equipment site plan works best for them.
Just understanding why a triometric battery meter tracking panel measuring energy going in and out of the battery works might make the entire scheme a little more transparent to potential owners and operators.
Amperages and capacitors may be more than the average shopper may be able to contend with. Things like grounding rod placement and sub panel switches for the generator may take some explanation. Video allows for groups or a team of installers to listen en masse to the instructions (and decipher them).
