Gopro POV Solar Panel Installer

This video is filmed on the GoPro Hero 9, of what a solar installer would call "throwing glass". This video is shot in the "point of view" of a solar panel installer carrying solar panels across a steep roof 20-40 feet off the ground in 100-120 degree temperatures. As solar panel installations continue to take over the rooftops of the world. Solar electricians and solar panel installers are one of the fastest-growing careers and industries.

I hate railless systems I feel that huffing and puffing Great job

[@seandoran6809]

Great video, I install solar panels here in Ireland its nice seeing how other people do it in other countries. I have a small KZbin channel and share some install videos. I use a bucket truck now so that I can install by myself, its hard to find anyone here to help who wants to do it. I laughed when I saw your video of your shoes, I go through a lot of shoes too lol 👍

Nice idol from Philippines

[@EdmundYipp]

Nice install! Would you mine telling me what kind of clamps and flashing your using? Planning to do a self install and i dont want to have rails either

[@solargoat]

In the video I’m using RockIT by Ecofasten! I’d check out a company called Apex too!

[@kodywineman1751]

Bro you did a good job on that. I install there every day just like this. Any tips for skirt mount installation? I use a string line atm and it works decent but I get some spacing gaps thatll open still and have to move the bottom mounts

[@javierhuerta3091]

Why you skipped the wite management. I wanted to see some new techniques.

[@CwalkerBigD]

what tools bag you using for drill impactor?,look very handy with the string, tks

[@hbkdrone]

What are you plugging the panels into cause I see you are just placing panels and not hooking them into anything?

[@devinhinkson5168]

How do you handle wire management on a railway system? Seems like there would be less places to keep wires from touching the roof

[@solargoat]

Yeah definitely… best way to is get some clips that hold the wires to the frame of panels.

[@devinhinkson5168]

@@solargoat nice, that makes sense. Thank you!

[@juliodominguez965]

I don’t know if by kicking the panels and using impact driver is so professional I wouldn’t used this guys unless I’ll show them how to work the proper way

[@t.r.2476]

I get the spacing from top and bottom but why is there a gap on each side? Apologies for noon question, I’m new to solar 😅

[@solargoat]

I always try and gap my panels on all 4 sides. I think it helps with ventilation, snow, thermal expansion etc. it’s rare but I have had panels shatter from not being spaced and tightened down to the right torque.

[@kodywineman1751]

Vibrations from panels touching can cause micro fractures in the cells. You can’t see them but if you have a thermal camera it is very clear to see.

[@kodywineman1751]

Panels vibrate when the wind blows…

[@Beamin-vt7jm]

What a rough job

[@bN1-0889]

tough*

[@Erick.castillo]

What go pro mount are you using if u don’t mind me asking? is this a chest mount? I’m an o&m tech tryna make some videos too nice job respect from NY 💪

[@solargoat]

I got a maltadynamics hard hat helmet and a few cheap GoPro adapters all off Amazon!

[@solargoat]

In this video I straight up drilled holes in the brim of my hat and screwed on a GoPro lol

[@Erick.castillo]

@@solargoat noted! That’s sick haha keep killing it brother! Be safe !

[@rodmeltzer4053]

What brand of hardware are you using in this video? Who's mounting brackets and spliced brackets that tie the four panels together? Thank you

[@kodywineman1751]

Rockit smart slides

[@NoName-gk2sj]

Are those Q cells 400

[@solargoat]

I’m trying to remember… think they are jinkos. Big 66 cell

[@MrDigitalnick]

you put a clamp on backwards....

[@santiagoperez626]

Those panels are not light. And is that a 12/12 pitch? Madman

[@britanyfitzgerald9111]

Is that ac or dc ?

[@ronaldmollick]

D-C

[@ethanfrye31]

God I hate railless systems

[@timmathias3576]

Way faster once you get used to them. I did rail for years, took me a month so get railess down
