It's so cool that you share your work, bro. I live in California, and I do the exact same things you do, bad inverters, bad ac systems, R&Rs, communication problems, water leaks, etc. I love doing service. We always have lots of work. Hope you have fun in the next one.

@gaewing Месяц назад

Where do you work in California. I am in Hayward lookin for someone to do install.

@noah786 5 месяцев назад

Looking forward to seeing the reinstall done correctly.

@Ojames600 5 месяцев назад

I am so glad I have a ground mount system. No roof issue to worry about.

@duotronic6451 2 месяца назад

"Missing the studs" is why I haven't had solar installed. I wouldn't know if they did to job correctly. 😢😢😢

@oby-1607 4 месяца назад

Shingles are such a scam. Limited lifespan and an incredible number of possible leak points. The further south you go, the less the life from the sun UV. With this roof, they used OSB panels and that is the worst possible panel for roof material. The OSB rots very quickly when moisture is allowed to contact.

It’s what my HOA wants 🥲

@deannagray4305 4 месяца назад

Thanks for the information at 8:45 - I'll be checking our panels when we go to install (over torquing).

I'm a skeptical potential customer of solar panels, and a hands-on landlord who's known how to use tools for 60 years. It baffled me, watching this video, how the original installation of the solar panel mounting brackets "missed the rafters," according to Solar Goat. Makes me wonder how often this happens, all over the country, with OSB soaking up rainwater... OSB isn't structural to relying on OSB as the "fastened-to" partner of a lag screw (?) seems wrong. Yet the screws removed weren't long enough to hit the rafters, where they? Roofers call a spike that misses a fascia board or rafter a "shiner." I made the roofer fix those, in a timely manner during roof change. Not LATER, when the shiner might only be cut flush to the underside of the sub-roof, with flush-cutting bolt cutters. I would think that a stud-finding tool would be ubiquitous, for roof-mount solar panel installers.

@GoldenLink87 5 месяцев назад

Not sure how you came on my feed but cant wait to see you install everything back on especially how you do the flashing correctly and run the wiring. Just got a roof leak and wil be removing my panels. This video came in clutch 😂

RU-vid is listening lol

@MrJayallen2004 Месяц назад

You will find it much easier than the solar people tell you. Go for it and save major dollars from the scammers.

@maestrozilla 5 месяцев назад

nice content just subbed.. when installed the right way... do you recommend roof mount systems or ground mount system if possible

@tonytieu1 5 месяцев назад

I am interested for more information on the battery system in your van. Where did you get your battery system?

@matthewpestski5563 5 месяцев назад

I had the same damage to my roof from solarbear here in Florida. I had to hire a lawer cause they wouldn't cover my roof. Even with providing photos of the hardware missing almost every truss, water dripping from their hardware and even a 3rd part inspector documentation. Still it's been like several months working with an attorney and haven't gotten anywhere with solarbear! 50k for a new roof! After 40k worth of solar had been installed just over a year before we noticed wet spots and leaks!

@CL-en8nx Месяц назад

this is the exact reason im doing a small ground mount option on my backyard instead of damaging the structural integrity of my roof.

@peterponcedeleon3368 4 месяца назад

Goos stuff. Do you do any work in Las Vegas?

@chrisfach4 5 месяцев назад

I do residential service but thinking about trying to get into solar service and removals because like you said most of the companies go out of business. I’m super curious how you price this job or the total for removal and reinstall.

@mmroofs 5 месяцев назад

It would be great if you could do a follow up to see what was the actual cause of the leak? Perhaps faulty flashings? Those flashings look ridiculously cheapo.

@jordanweekes4097 5 месяцев назад

looks like they looped the arrays in the soladeck box.

@solargoat 5 месяцев назад

Exactly. I was beyond confused for a minute. Maybe they ran out of PV connectors?

@deannagray4305 4 месяца назад

So - when you remove these systems are you charging for removal and then reselling the panels?

@CIAVERMONT 2 месяца назад

If you watch the video he says he's coming back to properly reinstall the system.

@idjrod49 Месяц назад

If they went out of business, were you able to get parts for them? I have other questions. Can I contact you?

@mikesmith1702 5 месяцев назад

What is cost to remove and re-install system...ballpark for 18 panels?

@solargoat 5 месяцев назад

Usually around $100/panel

@MrJayallen2004 Месяц назад

Cheapest in Florida was 250 a panel. The boys and me had those fuckers off in half a day. Screw these prices.

@arthurcurry850 3 месяца назад

2:54 Are you joking ? Optimizer as the name says is put on each and every panel primarily out of 2 reasons. 1st reason is because companies producing inverters have something called layout app where you can register each and every optimizer to create functional layout of the roof where inverter is given information about each location of each panel and knows exactly which panel is non functional in case of malfunction. 2nd in case of shadow covering one or many PVs so that one string does not lose MPPT. That's why its called optimizers It doesn't just boost any given panel output to 400 V are you insane. In same cases it down volts rest of PVs to simulate less PVs but higher output than in alternative where more pvs create less output due to shadowing so that whole string has more optimized output. Since without it, lowest of the PV that is covered by shadow from chimney for example throws whole string in NON optimal output and in some cases puts inverter in night mod even THOUGH ITS DAZYLIGHT. They are not boosting anything to higher voltage than the MPPT of each individual PV.

@ivankozhulenko2869 5 месяцев назад

Hey, is there anyway I could pay to get you to come install panels on my house?

@solargoat 5 месяцев назад

If you located in Utah??

@ivankozhulenko2869 5 месяцев назад

any chance I can get you to come to Edmond, Oklahoma? interested in 20 Kwh system with battery back up@@solargoat

@rvanbeau2009 4 месяца назад

You sir have elephant balls. If you can come up with the money you should invest in systems to improve your safety. Buy the elevator tracks that will bring your panels up and down for you. It's much more dangerous on the ladder when you are also carrying a panel.
