It would have been nice to include how to safely shut down and disconnect the panels .

[@CopeBUILT]

that's the info I was looking for... Need to pop two panels to repair a leak around a chimney... Don't want to wait 8 weeks for the solar company.... Once the system is cut off from the grid, does it matter which wire from each panel is unplugged first... and plugged back in first?

[@noahparsons7420]

Shut the disconnect off if you have one or turn off the breakers for the solar

[@sueziaya5870]

Really good job explaining thank-you 😊

[@88rushrocks]

I need to have this done in portland oregon however the solar company wants $4300 besides the roofing company wanting $15000 .

[@diegolara4202]

There goes your government tax incentive.

[@yolandejoazard6655]

You right about the amount of money people ask home owners for every single thing that is not fair

[@jeremydumoit4487]

I'll do this myself when the time comes...

[@JaMexican213]

Checking in how did it go? 😂

[@jeremydumoit4487]

@@JaMexican213 Ask me in 15 years. I put the panels up myself, so I think it will be about the same taking them down.

[@noahparsons7420]

Doing this with a friend for $1800 making 900 a piece over two weekends can’t complain

[@brisca3301]

great video.. It would be helpful to know how the rack mounts get reinstalled. How they reach the old screw holes, etc.

[@thomasjacques5286]

Awesome info for folks. My son had 31 panels installed on his home and sometime in the next few years he'll probably want/need to sell. Yes, he can leave the system and hope he recovers most of his investments or remove them and reuse them on his new house. But taking them down will necessitate preparing the roof and that will add to the cost. But at least he has a starting point given his house has a 4 year old roof. Thanks

[@MamboB]

Just came across your videos and wondering if the micro inverters serve as fuses to prevent fires on overheating or power issues. What state do you work in?

[@keepingup2952]

Thanks dude. You're quality.

[@mrteausaable]

Do you redo all the new holes again on the racking? Will this void the warranty original installer and solar panels, if you are different installer then the original installer. I have my installer has 25 years panels and workmanship labors warranty. Also my insurance pay for the removal and reinstalled since roof damage by hail and need fully replacement. I have no choice but to use the same installer and they charge $300/panels since my roof pretty steep and 2nd story high.

[@gilbrook]

Very impressive job!

[@RedstoneSolar]

Thank you!

[@JimArneson]

How about a screen shot of your bill?

[@samusvi2693]

omg wow never thought about adding that expensive cost to the solar panel system. right at the time you also need to replace most of the system anyway, except the batteries which were replaced 5 years ago at a major cost. seems like this free energy is getting so much more expensive every day now

[@allent1034]

Tesla only charged me $500 to R&R my panels. Luckily, I had that listed in my Solar City contract. The bad thing is that they take so long to do it. I finally got them removed but it will take them seven weeks to put them back up.

[@nattyphysicist]

Thank you!

[@mikemercer-ky4id]

Can you do RnRs without a permit since it already has been permitted

[@johnaugsburger6192]

Thanks

[@herrerazilla]

If you use a 3rd party electrician will it expire your warranty on the panels?

[@marnez390]

What kind of tool is needed to remove the tesla solar panel tapered trim?

[@sandeerajayamal9445]

Do you have solar instalar jobs

[@__mikee03]

Are you located in So Cal ?

[@Juancarlo4342]

What state do you work in

[@carltonmathews6234]

How do you unhook the plugs

[@DSC800]

mc4 tool and/or H4 tool, on ebay or amazon for about $5each.

[@Cdswjp]

Are you located in Ca?

[@caring-assoul_]

Useless

[@Ukepa]
