We got one, takes a long time to set up, it works great but it seams either we got a 1 story or a high rise. We also have a crane which is a little costly to deploy but sure looks cool. Something else we use up to 3 stories is a sizzer truck, the whole box lifts up to the height, picked it up from a military auction, was a plane loading truck. Works well for OSHA

</div>Hi Wrenches,

I'm curious if anyone has updates to this thread 3 years later. What are people using to lift modules to the roof? 

I've been looking at ladder hoists online and wondering how well they'd work in practice. Any experience or advice?

Thanks,

Dana

Hi Wrenches,

 

I imagine that all of us working in rooftop PV have put some good hard thought on the best way to get the modules up to the roof. There are various lifts on the market, you can hoist them with ropes manually, or walk them up a ladder (sling them over your back). I find that the majority of our competition in the Bay Area walks panels up the ladder for residential projects. What is your feeling about OSHA compliance of doing this?

 

Best,
