Today’s install in Wilpshire, Blackburn.
We actually started this job last Monday! ☀️
The original plan was simple: remove 10 old 200W Feed-in Tariff solar panels and replace them with 10 newer, more efficient panels.
However, it wasn’t until we removed the old panels that we discovered the full extent of how badly the original system had been installed. 😬
We tried our best to repair the roof, but we were fighting a losing battle. A lot of the existing roof battens had rotted, and it soon became clear that the roof needed more than just a few repairs.
Ultimately, we decided the best solution was to replace the roof felt and battens, then install the new solar panels using an in-roof mounting system.
A huge thanks to Ox Roofing, who stepped in to strip the roof, install new felt and battens, and fit the in-roof trays, getting everything ready for us to return today and complete the install.
What started as a straightforward panel replacement turned into a much bigger job, but at least the customer now has a roof and solar installation that’s been done properly! 💪☀️
