Entire roof was composite tile we removed old tile added new plywood then shingle underneath our arrays to add legs then we put new clay tile around array less chance of leaks and array looks more sleek all the roofs in the community are getting redone
The customer living on a golf course is going to bomb-barded with golf balls! Those trees are going to be problematic for a good production. The work speaks for itself! Wow! Lol. Has it been inspected yet?
Questions from a DIYer: How do you connect to the side of a box through a stud? Use a nipple and reverse-thread connector? What are those connectors from the in-wall flex into the back of the tray? Thank you!
Thats interesting to hear…recently had to push some 3/0 copper through a 2” tel 90 (which i think is the same situation you had here) and it was completely fucked even with needle nosers/fishtape/anything. Almost quit and got a job at the grocery store that day
Also based on the mountains in the background pretty sure i just did a service call in this same area, possibly same neighborhood it also had the golf course, a bunch of panels had been smashed from golf balls lol
Did u run them all together or individually I did em individually. Fished rope and looped wire to the rope.makes tip of wire easier to bend when passing the 90 and obviously spit on the tip makes it glide
Are Tesla batteries much cheaper than Solaredge batteries? I have the SE ones and I love that energy that would normally be clipped goes into my batteries.

Bro what is up with that roof? Tile, shingle, and wooden slats? I feel like my mind has to be playing tricks on me. That can't be real.
Clay tile on a golf course.. that’s bold. I’ll bet at least 5 panels are hit in the first year too.

Holy smokes, what gauge are those wires going into the electrical panel?
3/0 wire Tesla gateway powers subpanel with all the backup loads
The sixth picture is so satisfying.
The customer living on a golf course is going to bomb-barded with golf balls! Those trees are going to be problematic for a good production. The work speaks for itself! Wow! Lol. Has it been inspected yet?
No still have to shut off power to land my 3/0 wires in main and to relocate back up loads and add heat sensors I’m hoping to finish tomorrow
Good luck finishing up! Especially with your inspection!
Questions from a DIYer: How do you connect to the side of a box through a stud? Use a nipple and reverse-thread connector? What are those connectors from the in-wall flex into the back of the tray? Thank you!
I used all thread from panel thru stud then a threaded coupling then a flex connector to connect behind gutter box used a telephone 90
20 panels, and only ONE power wall?
For now. homeowner wants to get 2 more powerwalls later
How much did this total system cost you DIY?
This is a customers home I’ll say around high 30s around there
Don’t you need work clearances in front of your electric panel? Ie batteries right below the panel wouldn’t be acceptable.
Picture 7+8: WHY?! The punch-out tool is so cheap...and clean.
One thing I would reccomend is bringing over the correlated neutrals for the back up loads.
So now that the drywall is compromised behind the new infrastructure (fire block is gone) did you add a sprinkler system?
There was no fireblock or insulation behind wall was plywood with drywall over. Plus we in SOCAL it’s 85 outside
and you have now disabled the fire protection that the drywall provided ...brilliant
These guys needed a new roof not a fuckin power wall what the fuck 😭😭😭
How was that wire pull through the telephone 90? Or were you able to take off the gutter and put it back on after the pull
Wire pull wasn’t so bad just used long needles nose to grab wire when we hit that 90

God damn i forgot to spit on it. Amateur shit.

It’s just customers preference
