This is my first video after my summer break. In the future, I decided to reduce one video per month to a bi-weekly schedule plus sometimes a quickie in between. Recent videos showed that I need more time for research and production, and I do not want to compromise on quality.

And now the video: 

How can we protect our wallets against rising energy prices and our homes against power outages? In this video, I will show you things you better know before signing a contract for a new PV system. Because not everything is as it looks, and your solar salesman probably will not tell you. Maybe you find ideas to improve your installation? Please come with me on this journey.

Cool! It felt like eternity between the last video 😅! But it was worth the wait. I've watched tens of PV related videos on Will Prowse's channel but still learned many new things. It's a shame solar does not make much sense here in the north!

It is utterly appalling that between them governments and industry are delivering default solar installations that do not work during power outages! It is surely in the interests of national resilience that private solar installations work when the grid fails even if at the moment outages are rare and short? The company I employed to fit mine (I am still waiting for supply chain) did not understand this at all and I had to educate both myself and them to ensure I got off-grid operation specified. In the end, it cost very little extra, but if I had not been able to read electrical schematics it would not have been delivered! Sometimes I despair about the lack of competence and joined up and forward thinking in government and regulatory authorities, even in relatively well run countries like Switzerland!

Hi Ristomatti, Yes, the sun is less interesting in the north. But I learned that the wind is much better there (it is not so good here).

Reply moved to the right place: Hi John, Proper off-grid inverters were more expensive, and I wonder that this option was cheap for you. I hope your supplier understands what he has to do. Here we have to double-cut the grid before we start off-grid operation, which makes the backup box quite expensive. This was probably also the reason why it was not offered as a default option. With low energy prices, the "business case" of a PV plant was not very strong...
