??????? those solar guys are funny .
For 100k you should find the time , that is a bad Neighborhood to be in .
Really solar is not electrical work it’s a different set of rules and skill .
I used iron Ridge 1000 because of high wind and heavy snow.
I staggered the feet so they where not on the same rafters .
The roof was on , so we hammered nails down to find the beams .
Then layed out the panels starting 40” from the side 36” down from the ridge .
the iron ridge mounting system is great .
Our shingles where strait so we just lifted a shingle , slid in the flashing caulked around the area with polyurethane flashing tar lined up with the shingles and drove a 8” SS lag bolt into the rafter below .
we did this late in the day .
It took 4 hours total over 2 days
we ran 10 wires to a disconnect below with steal conduit .
The wires get ends crimped on neg pos then snapped on to the panels .
The panels get wired together as you go , and the wiring gets zip tied to hold it off the roof .
I worked the ground and my son worked the roof , it’s a 10/12 pitch good for year round power production , not to good for working on .
It took us 2 evenings to get it wired up , it was 95o and the panels where hot ? .
My son is 6’5” so he could just walk up the roof and screw the panels on by him self , they are 5’5” tall x40” wide
The hard part is getting every thing together .
You don’t get a diagram to follow ,
You have to read all the manuals and figure it all out , I had the engineer from Arazona Wind And Sun on speed dial for a couple of days so I could ask questions .
I love diy stuff, but i could not spec the parts by my self .
I just called arazona Wind And Sun and told them what I wanted to do , and in 12 hours I had a itemized quote
with every thing but wire .
I bought the out back flexpower one from them , but my Electrical supply house sold me everything else with a big savings
I just loaded every thing up at there shop . So no shipping .
My system was 10k plus’s a few other do dad‘s 3/4 years ago . I have 32 panels with only 15 wired in and one extra mounted on the roof .
So this system could cost 13k + if you add on the COVID ? money I think . Arrrrrrrrrr .
