**enphase Energy does NOT endorse this video, and they do NOT recomend installing this micro inverter in this way as it void the warranty** This video shows the only known DIY solar panel array to be approved for grid interconnection. By recreating what is seen here, you can have a grid tie solar system for HALF the cost!! Main parts of this array- 1.) Evergreen Solar Photovoltaic cells 2.) enphase Micro Inverters 3.) Butt-load of wood from Big Box hardware store 4.) Time Take advantage of the 30% federal Tax Rebate before it is gone! By doing this project alongs side my other project (my DIY Geothermal Heating and Cooling System using a heat pump AC unit) I was able to pay for BOTH projects with my tax return!! This video is a suggestion… a starting point for you to DO LOADS OF RESEARCH before attempting to create such a project. I spent a couple months looking at diagrams and schematics on Google Images before attempting either of my projects. Unless you are a trained professional (who should ALWAYS be the one to install any grid tied system!) you should read untill you feel comfortable with the materials, then make your decision. ALWAYS secure all applicable permits and approvals from appropriate government departments and utility companies BEFORE starting any project to reduce loss of $$$. Permits and approvals required by my local gov’t were ‘Board of Zoning’ for a zoning variance for its unique placement, and ‘Building Inspections’ for an electrical and mechanical …
