Hi Folks:
I finished installing my DIY solar system grid tie 7.1KW on th end of 2019, but I want to share with you guys the methods I used to lift the panels to the roof. For the first 16 panels I run a steel cable between two tall trees over the top of the house. Used a pulley system to lift it and move the panel to the roof. You can see it on this video:
For the last 12 panels I tried something more portable and created a platform to put the panels with wheels that went on a long inclined J steel frame to the roof.
This can be seen here:
Most recently I had micro inverter failures and had to create another rigging to lift panels out of the way, to replace them.
Anyway, I just want to share the ideas. No questions at this time!
Paulo
