Solar panel tear off/re roof

- This video is on the removal and reinstallation off an 8 year old roof mounted solar PV system. Shingle roofs should be brand new when solar panels are installed. This roof should have been replaced before the panels were installed. The solar company should not have installed the solar on this roof. The previous solar company had poor wire management, did not install enough flashings for the array, and had poor workmanship overall. High volume solar seems to = low quality. Be carefull out there folks....
Nice safety practice on that ladder OSHA would love you
Aluminum ladder?
Yeah, seen it before but laughing at your comment. 100% correct
How strong would the aluminum ladder shear strength need to be for that practice to be safe?!!😢
John, everyone likes new/fresh projects with the latest and greatest, but I also like how you show re-work and older installs, gives me a better idea as to how these systems age and "best practices". Keep 'em coming.
Good job I have a broken panel remove it and still have units back on until I buy another penal will it hurt the units
How much do you charge for this job? Thank you
@@aimejasso2096 I don’t do it anymore
Just curious, But after shutting the power off near the inverter, do the workers have any risk of electric shock generated by the panels if the accidentally touch a live wire?
Stephan Crisci no, the panels only make 30-40volts 7 amps.
Not to be a troll but one who has gone up roofs for years to wash windows, they should have use Ladder standoffs available at Home Depot so as not to bend the gutters. What part of GA Senior? Donde Esta?
Jeff Garner well I think they are gonna replace the gutter but I agree. Protect the gutter and the solarman payeth not!!
In north ga. Hall county/Gainesville area.
What do you charge for an evaluation in west Pickens County. (15 miles west of Jasper) I emailed but I guess you have been busy. Want simple pump, solar hot water and enough Solar to run a small AC unit for bedroom or 2 and a refrigerator. Electricity is not that reliable in Ranger, GA
Jeff, Somehow I missed this. Can you send me an email again, I've got work out in Jasper, you aren't to far but yes I am pretty dang busy

Lol
For an older'ish roof, what are your thoughts on replacing it with metal? I only have one layer of shingles but would want it all stripped to the decking that then done in metal before solar.
Greg Vence sir. Sorry I haven’t come out yet. Got super busy. Standing seam metal roof under the panels is the best. You can clamp to the seams and have a roof that will last as long as the panels. Screw down metal roofs require maintenance.
How common is it for squirrels to make nest under panels? I am near ATL and looking for solar.
Obviously we have no control over the rodents, but I believe having trees in close proximity to your house is one of the biggest causes. You should not have any trees close enough to your house so that a squirrel can jump off the tree onto the house. Also if you could wire management is practiced, the chances of a squirrel eating a dangling wires is low since there are no dangling wires. Wires should be dangling anyway. Rooftop solar is not the best spot for the panels
They have no fall protection on ??
Lol
My question was if after you turn your solar power off if you still have power in the panels
If you turn it off it’s off. No power is flowing
3:16 "no digas mmds ya" hahahaha
And they even kept it clean for the youtube :-)
Good one boss!
Did you serve in South America?
Matisyahu Varnish i did not. I grew up Working on a painting crew in southeastern United States with Mexicans
That's his way of asking if you're mormon
The damage did you see to the shingles around the solar panels my friend are due to when the solar panels were installed people were walking on the roof obviously and destroyed the shingles so you’re not looking at hail damage you looking at damage from somebody walking on the roof and twisting their foot my friend has nothing to do with hail hail damage won’t make a circle 3 inches around that is a foot
This will only happen when the roof is already damaged or on a 100 degree plus day. I’ve done 500 roofs and know when to get off when your damaging it
They called you a snitch lol , now put that phone down gringo and help
Guys are hard at work but I'm see safety issues all over no harness or safety equipment. And with a roof in that condition one of those guys could fall rite thru.
Sean J Solar nah the roof is good I inspected thru attic. Yeah the Mexicans think they can fly. It’s not my job, but they did put the harness/ppe on shortly after the filming.
Absolutely....I agree
I’ve watching two of your videos with a similar title but none of them have been helpful on how to remove them
You must use a conveyor
For most of the US solar is NOT a smart or good choice!
Wow
Yeah roof mount not so great
I thought this was a professional, instructional video, what a disappointment.
