Enphase Microinverters and Quick Mount PV

New solar video that I made at a solar installation near Tampa, Florida. These are Enphase microinverters, which convert the DC voltage from the solar panels to 120 V AC for connected to the grid.

Here I am getting ready to install some solar panels in Florida. It's a nice sunny day out, perfect for solar power! This is a 5,800 watt or 5.8 kilowatt (kW) solar installation on a residential rooftop. I am using SolarWorld panels and Enphase microinverters at the customer's request. This is Day 2 of the solar installation.

Eric Layton Installing Solar Panels!

Solar Panels at a 5.8 kW Solar Installation

First time using SolarWorld brand solar panels and Sunrail brand racking for a residential solar installation in central area of Florida. I had fun installing this in the Florida sun this past weekend.

DIY Solar Panels - 5 Windy Nation 100 W Solar Panels

Finally had the opportunity to finish the DIY solar panel installation with 5 of the Windy Nation solar panels that I purchased online. I finished the pole mount and finished mounting all of the panels together. After everything was complete, it worked out very well. All future ground mounts that I install, I am going to follow this exact same design using the 2" steel poles, satellite dish mounts, Unistrut, and wood.
