third Party Installations [RE-wrenches]

[Todd Cory, Bald Mtn. Solar]

Bob-O & I just got back yesterday from a remote off-grid home with gear
purchased by a dot com and installed by a local electrician. Among many other
problems, we found the PV disconnect up on the roof mounted in a way so as to
shade several of the PV's!

Yes, standard "rope pullers" can probably follow a diagram and connect wire "A"
to location "B", but I feel it is far better if they actually understand what
they are doing and why they are doing it. Obviously this guy didn't "get" that
PV's need sunlight to work. This guy's missing this basic concept illustrates
the point that it is best to have actual RE wrenches doing installations.
