<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>You're missing a business opportunity. Instead of
complaining about roofers' bad work and competition, show the company

sales, roofing, and grunt work).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>We have seen a lot of the roofing companies nibbling around the edges of
solar installs lately. I have only seen a couple of installs personally, and
they were far from what I would call professional or reliable. Not quite as
bad as your example, but in one case they had used Romex to run the wiring
down to the inverter, and not in conduit.</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-FAMILY: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Hi
wrenches:<BR> Have you noticed that roofing companies have
recently been trying to sell solar? One company thought of something
that I had never considered. Listen to this neat story.<BR>
I was servicing a job today, where a roofing company recently removed and
re-installed a PV array on a 12 degree sloped roof. The funny thing is
that the roofer didn't want to penetrate his new roof, so he and the customer
decided to leave the panels sitting on the composition roof without any
attachments to the structure. They didn't think it was necessary!
<BR> Shortly afterward, the array slid down the roof, and a
MultiContact connector came unplugged. The customer noticed that his
system was not operating, and called us to the site. <BR>
