Wrenches,<div><br></div><div>So a follow/add-on up to the last post.....</div><div><br></div><div>So do any of you add the cost of labour for removing and replacing a roof top array, to be included in the "life cost" of a PV system, since it is reasonable to assume that a well installed array will outlast any asphalt shingle roof, and re-shingling around the array is not recommended since no roofing company would warranty this work?</div><div>Just as informing an off-grid client that the batteries will not last as long as the charge controllers/inverter/array, and will need to be upgraded from time to time, so it will be a system lifetime ongoing cost to consider.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>benn</div><div><br><span class="ecxecxecxecxEC_Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(0, 32, 96)"><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">DayStar Renewable Energy Inc. </font></span><div><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">benn@daystarsolar.ca</font></div><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">780-906-7807 </font></div><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">HAVE A SUNNY DAY

<div dir="ltr">Hey Wrenches,<div><br></div><div>I know it has been discussed on this list, but i'm not having any luck finding any threads on how to deal with re-shingling an asphalt shingle roof with a PV array already on it. </div><div><br></div><div>I have a potential client who is asking (somewhat concerned) about this scenario and i'm looking into what suggestions i can offer. Their roof is only 3-4 yrs old now.</div><div><br></div><div>Depending on the condition of the roof when the system is installed, is re-shingling around the array an option, since it will have been somewhat protected from the sun/rain/snow? ... or is that just a bad idea and not something that should be suggested (re-shingling around the array)?</div><div><br></div><div>If anyone can recall the name or date of a thread on this topic, i'd appreciate being pointed in the right direction. I'm sure i recall in one of these threads, WM talking about his custom(?) mounting method that allows for the array to be easily tilted up to allow access underneath.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>benn<br><br><span class="ecxecxecxecxEC_Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(0, 32, 96)"><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">DayStar Renewable Energy Inc. </font></span><div><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">benn@daystarsolar.ca</font></div><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">780-906-7807 </font></div><div><font class="ecxApple-style-span" face="'Franklin Gothic Medium'">HAVE A SUNNY DAY
