I'm willing to help, but no video chatting....

Thank you so much!

That's no problem about video chatting.  Mainly I just don't want to be going back and forth on a public forum, with people telling me what they think I should or should not be doing.  I just wanted to find someone (seemingly) just like you, (as you were able to take the information that I gave and run with it basic on logic alone).

You already answered a few of the starter questions, and I would definitely like to continue the conversation.

If you are willing to take this conversation off of permies;  to email, or possibly audio chat (no video is necessary).  Just so that it is not a public conversation, and we can discuss in real-time, please email me at theteacher@givemesomeenglish.com

Mainly so that I can answer some of your questions, I can figure out a step-by-step/to-do list (at least to get started), and we can discuss what you would like to compensate you for your help.

Or if there is some other way that you prefer to connect, please let me know.

And thanks again for your very detailed and thorough response.  Your intuition and logic are pretty-much right on point.


I look forward to hearing back from you again soon.


Have An Excellent Day,

Hello Again,


Thanks for the messages.

I am happy to discuss any and all of the details of what I want to do over an actual call (on Google Meet or some other chat app) when I find someone who knows how to set up solar systems that I can potentially hire as a coach.

It is for a very small house that is 100% off-grid, in a European country with 230v & 50hz.  But all electrical devices are 220v here;  just like everywhere else in Europe.

I am hoping that there is someone here who either knows someone or IS that "someone" that I can hire.  I am not going to DIY an entire installation with Zero experience just based off of random bits & pieces of info & advice I get from the internet.  I need someone to take me from the Initial Planning to actually flipping the lights on & plugging in the refrigerator.

All I need is someone that I can actually chat with in a video or audio call.  I look forward to finding that person.  


Thanks!

Greetings,

I'm a newbie to Solar, and although I read and read, there are still some things that are a little over my head.

The main problem is, even though I live in a country where solar is common — in this culture, it is also very common to have INCREDIBLY poor customer service.  People do not answer phones, return calls, answer emails, or even consider that they should be polite and helpful to the people who are trying to give them their money!  They will often just say "no, that's not possible" and hang up, instead of trying to find a solution that will result in them being paid for their services.  (It is infuriating!)

So I have zero confidence or faith that I will get the help that I need in this country.

And although I have learned a lot from all the reading & video watching I have done.  I still can not find the answers to the specific questions that I have.  And it seems that the most common response to ANY question is:  "Well, it depends".  But they never actually say WHAT it depends on, and what the possible solutions could be for each scenario!!!  (Or the "answer" requires a PhD to comprehend.)

So...

I am looking for someone that I can hire to do direct consulting for me.  Someone that I can have video calls with so that I can explain what I want to do;  find-out the possibilities;  discuss WHAT everything depends on;  and actually get to the point of finding-out what the actual SOLUTIONS to the situation could be, so that I can finally make a decision on what equipment to buy, and move to the next phase of learning how to put it all together.

It seems like this should not be an impossibility — but so far, I have not found what I am looking for (in almost a year of searching).

I hope that Permies and the people here can steer me in the right direction.  I hope that someone reading this is actually the person that I am looking for.  I look forward to any input, suggestions, recommendations, etc..


Have An Excellent Day,

~C.
