Why Meet Kevin is wrong on solar.

Hi Clay and I just want to start by saying: Meet Kevin, he is completely

wrong

in one of his

solar

videos and I will explain to you why in 2010 I had a leaky roof, some weather damage. I had my insurance company come out and they took a look. I looked into it and they gave me the service, so I started looking at the price of repairing my roof, so I had about two and a half thousand dollars in the bank and I decided I was going to find someone to do the roof, but I would add

solar

power to the ceiling. at that time and I would help them, I found that roofer and with the 2500 I bought x amount of panels. 10 was the number I wanted to buy the most, but the shipping of the panels was too much, so I got 10 panels. in phase with investors and I noticed in one of Kevin's videos he had pictures of that and I know it's a California company but they are definitely the best to add and I agree you don't want to add too much but I kept adding and adding because I had space and these supports were here and the roof was done, but once I was done with this I said well how do I get rid of the gas bill?

I got rid of the electricity bill. I got a refund of $168 for the refund year. By the way, the meter on the side of the house is separate, so at that time it's 17, I think, and they wouldn't let me buy the meter. I don't do anything with the meter so what I did was start calling about what's going on with the electric heat. What I did was try to educate myself and look for things online. Can I use electric heating? Can I use what type of heating and finally got in touch? one of the experts at my electric company essentially and said to me: have you ever heard of geothermal? and I said no, what is that?

Can you explain that to me? You can research what a ground loop system is, in a nutshell, not like Geothermal energy that people call that today is basically a line that runs into the earth and that's where you get the heat or the cold. It's hot and cold. It is a complete oven that looks like a gas oven, but everything is combined into a single compressor. write a unit with a bomb and that's basically what I went through. I went to start with 10 panels. This is probably the most useful. You can get a loan similar to a car in terms of price.

A used car, but. What you can do, what I did is basically the money I saved. I bought the panels I could. I started with that. Yes, I know it was a 30 of the time refund and I know that 30 of 3. 2500 1500 dollars. what you spend is not as much as if you bought the whole system and got a big refund, but I couldn't afford it, so what I did was buy the 10 panels I started with and then opened a second checking account through my credit union. credit, which a lot of people I'm not sure if they know they can do that or not, but they can open a second checking account a lot of times through the second credit union and what I did was I kept adding to that second account since I was paying what I would pay for electricity with savings, so for example, if my bill was normally 125 during that month last year and it turned out to be 90 or 95 dollars, what I would do is put that balance into my second account. checking account and that was basically reserved for solar energy and as I accumulated money in that account with other savings on top because I wanted to try to do it as quickly as possible and the first year's repayment I added to add more panels I finally got to where I was getting a check 168 dollars a year and that was great, but I asked myself how can I get rid of my gas bill, how do I do that, that's where geothermal came in and what I did was I started. saving them for that once I built up to 49 panels I think that's all I could put on that leg or run on that system for my roof area and sit down to drill geothermal energy that's a whole different story that It is the most expensive part. uh at that point it's about 10 to 12,000 so what I did was I found a guy, dan rao, and thank you, dan, the state of colorado gives up our geothermal drilling in the state of colorado, colorado, and he He agreed to do this basically the day after Christmas of that year and I needed to do it later in the year so I could get the geothermal rebate to pay him and I know this is a lot to think about beforehand but once I have it In fact, geothermal is probably the most amazing system, so what I don't agree with is limiting the size or never overbuilding your system.

If I didn't over-build a system, I wouldn't have researched and discovered geothermal energy, so that's basically the moral of the story and why I currently disagree with Kevin. I rent that that is my rental property, one of my rental properties, and that the benefit of having a perfect temperature all year round is extremely valuable, extremely useful for the tenants, they love it. One day we had weather of one hundred and seven hundred and eight degrees a day. I heard the temperature where I am and uh, they did some roofing to improve some of the solar parts and I walked in and I thought wow, it's cold in here, 63 degrees is what they had to set too and then yeah, we keep it cool. we like it that way, that's fine, and do what you want.

Geothermal can make that air conditioning here with low humidity. You're not going to lower it to 60 63 degrees, no way, um, so there are benefits to that. It can also do the opposite, much hotter than what you would expect in the winter, we previously, when we stayed there, when we lived in our family, my wife likes the heat, we were between 75 and 78 degrees throughout the year, oh, the winter in the summer is kind of the opposite of what we go down, you know? 70ish 72 but that's why and remember belief is extremely powerful especially for those who believe thank you and that's why I disagree with Kevin so thank you for watching and if you like this video please like it, comment below, subscribe and share it with your family. take care
