you had me at "I didnt want to get permits" We are the same. over years running

I bought 20X of the 370W aptos panels from Signature solar a few months ago -- got them online and loving them. Your love for them makes me glad I made the right choice. Also enjoying participating on your DIY solar forum as well :) They came in super clutch during the 30 hour grid blackout we had last week from severe storms (that + EG4 indoor batteries)

I have a pallet of the 370W Aptos panels in my garage, which I bought a few weeks ago for $96 each. Incredible deal and Signature Solar shipped them out incredibly fast.

I’m so glad you made this video. I just put 32 of those on my shop with an EG4 18 KPV absolutely love them averaging 12,800 W to 14,000 W.

Thank you Will for a great overview of these products. I greatly appreciate not only your breath of knowledge and experience but enthusiasm for your subject.

There are videos showing vertical mounting of bifacial solar panels in an East West configuration improves the total ouput wattage over the standard way to mount solar panels..

Will thank you so much for everything you do! been on the fence about what panels to get, have the EG4 18k invertor, a rack of 6 batteries, might order a second set too, and well now i have a pallete of the aptos 370 on the way, hopefully putting on my roof won't be too much of an issue, will start looking into that next, thank you again for everything you do, i bought your book too :):)

Very nice! If they offer some free shipping again, I'm going to jump on a dozen of these babies. I've got 12 Canadian 445W Bi-facials now that do an amazing job for me, but during our northern tier winters, I can use all the solar I can suck up. A dozen of these should give me enough to keep me from having to use the generator and chargeverter nearly as much. And you were right. With just 5 EG4 LifePower 4 batteries, I can run my inverter powered A/C, our electric clothes dryer and the rest of the house and still have the batteries fully charged before noon on a partly cloudy day. After I fill up the rack with one more, I'll be set.

I’m planing a system for a small off grid building. So your information is really helpful. Thanks!👍

thank you. Good to see quality panels are lowering in price and size.

This is so cool. I remember the solar systems people were putting on their houses around 1970. What a joke. I'm dying to get to a new property so I can go solar.

I put my 19.2kW (48 panels) solar array up back in August on an empty lot that I own adjacent to my house and I used these exact panels. I live on the Gulf Coast here in South Texas and there panels are rated to withstand very extreme weather conditions, (hurricane winds, very hot temps etcl). I absolutely love these panels. They are much cheaper when you buy a pallet (31) panels. I was lucky to get the same pricing from Signature Solar for the other panels to get the 48 total.

Totally enjoy your educative knowledge and wisdom on Solar ! You've definitely helped me a lot. You are a great teacher and success. Thanks 👍👍👍

I bought the 100w grape solar panel a few months ago to pair with my EcoFlow River Max. These first generation solar generators capped out at 25v of solar input, so two of them in parallel was perfect for me. Going to eventually make a DIY solar briefcase out of them.

I don’t even do any off the grid living or solar panel stuff but I found one of your videos before I reviewed a battery and your videos are just so pleasing to watch and well made. Is that weird? 😂

The 370w size was a perfect fit for my bus conversion, and I ordered a full pallet 31 panels. I have a custom designed rack that holds 2 wide the entire length of the bus and has 2 more rows the retract from each side for a 10 panel main plus 10 pop outs trick was keeping two rows plus brackets under 8ft wide 12 panels was an options but a saved a bit of roof space for a small 12x8ft deck and starlink dish. the bus roof is 48ft long. All my running gear is under the bus A/C heating, batteries etc so the roof is clean 42kwhr of battery and a 18kw eg4 powers it all the front engine bus i basically made the rear section into a shop with 2 cnc machines from the rear axles back the rest is on par with a 32-34ft Class A RV. With 1.5 baths rack and pinion slide with a kids bunk. A open concept kitchen / living area. Custom fiberglass dash board. The master bed room has a full rear waterproof bathroom with a full size shower and dual sinks. I have a GE ultra fast combo washer/dryer setup on board. 95gals of fresh water 50gal gray and 50 gal black tanks with a pump-out grinder setup so i can dump my dumps anywhere. ro water system and i can recover the and filter the water from all 3 A/C systems.

Thank you for posting this info. I look forward to installing one on my property to be.

Thanks for the REVIEW COOP ... ...

I just bought some of these from Signature Solar when they were offering free shipping a few weeks ago. I am a little shocked I got the right ones! I also bought a drywall cart to make it easier moving all these things around.
