Wow, the best explanation ever. See you at a warner show this year.

[@YanWang-k2o]

Brilliant and gives me so much confidence for the massive solar installation you going to do for me next week :) you have just rubber stamped my decision to use you guys.

[@Flossy_tops]

Great tip regarding the tile spacers 👍

[@richiebainbridge2608]

The matching blue nail varnish did it for me 😂 . Nice insight to how to do it correctly. Thanks.

[@vanandcountry]

Really interesting to see how you do this. Thanks for sharing.

Looking forward to seeing you at the end of the month for you to fit out our eliceo, our van has a different layout to the one in the video.

Brilliant. So neat & tidy 👍

Fantastic vide, great attention to detail

[@UKvet246]

Brilliant using adhesive certainly doesn't follow what's considered the accepted way, it's all about the method. Just a couple of tiny observations you might consider, you've done hundreds of solar panels clearly there's lots of measuring to be done on the roof and on the bench. 1. On the bench router an inlay and insert an extended tape measure 2. The bricks on the roof replace using rubber hot water bottles and fill with sand. Appreciated you've been doing what you do it's just an observation. 👍

Great tips there!! Thank you. 😊

Hay guys put the guard back on that grinder, be safe 👍🏻🙏🏻

Hi question. On a metal roof Do I need to take all the roof lining / over head lockers etc out of the van or just tech screw it with everything in place ? thanks

[@BlueFix]

Tech screws alone with ob1 or skia flex are fine just need to be sure there are no cables that you may screw into.

[@dutchdroomdenker592]

What’s your advice if the roof is real thin glass fiber canopy. The translucent truck type stuff. I’m not really keen on bonding onto that. Mechanical to the internal crossbeams + adhesive sealend with an alu L-bracket?

[@BlueFix]

I would say I'd agree with your idea of fitting it. the fibreglass wouldn't probably be strong enough. so through crossbeams and lots of OB1 or Sika Flex

[@dutchdroomdenker592]

@@BlueFix yeah, I agree. I’m going to just screw brackets onto the inner wooden framework, through the roof. Plus sikaflex. For bonding, but also to seal it up. Thx
