<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Tyrone - </div><div><br></div><div>William's recommendation of scaffolding is good - make sure the top level of the scaffolding walking area is all the way up to the lower edge of the roof. Then, the scaffolding safety rails will extend above that level. Toe boards are also very helpful if the array is high above that lower scaffolding area. They can be installed below the array so the install team has a place to rest their feet. Last but not least, Pitch Hoppers are an amazing product, but they only work up to 12/12 roof pitches: <a href="https://www.thepitchhopper.com/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23505716862&gbraid=0AAAAACalGfIVxfUbZtY5oY94925KLYl0i&gclid=CjwKCAjwt7XQBhBkEiwAtStppyREsblu68JKRPZGX8ogbYwhyDTTI-4bdVhDNTb482CC_j7cZgY6BxoCkrYQAvD_BwE">https://www.thepitchhopper.com/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23505716862&gbraid=0AAAAACalGfIVxfUbZtY5oY94925KLYl0i&gclid=CjwKCAjwt7XQBhBkEiwAtStppyREsblu68JKRPZGX8ogbYwhyDTTI-4bdVhDNTb482CC_j7cZgY6BxoCkrYQAvD_BwE</a></div><div><br></div><div>-August<br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><p> </p></div></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, May 20, 2026 at 9:09 AM William Miller via RE-wrenches <<a href="mailto:re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org">re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto">Tyrone:</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I have some experience with steep roofs. To keep this post short I will start with two recommendations:</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Scaffold the eaves. This gives you a place to stage materials and to rest your calves. It is a last resort back-stop if you take a slide.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Fall protection harness with positioning d-rings. These are two rings at your hips that you can clip in a bridle you can lean back against. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Good luck. <br clear="all"><br><div dir="auto"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature">William Miller<br>Miller Solar.com<br>805-438-5600<br><a href="http://www.millersolar.com" target="_blank">www.millersolar.com</a><br></div></div></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, May 20, 2026 at 8:31 AM Tyrone Houck via RE-wrenches <<a href="mailto:re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org" target="_blank">re-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto"><div dir="auto"><div>Greetings wrenches,</div><div dir="auto">I am looking at a job with an extreme pitch comp roof(60°) and figured I would reach out to see what other installers' experiences have been and what recommendations or best practices advice ones might have. It's rare that we do anything steeper than 45° so I would greatly appreciate any insight you guys may have!</div><div>Sunny Regards,</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Tyrone Houck</div><div dir="auto">Oregon Solarworks LLC</div><div dir="auto">CCB #204937 LRT #076</div><div dir="auto">541-787-1366</div><div dir="auto"><a href="mailto:tyrone@oregonsolarworks.com" target="_blank">tyrone@oregonsolarworks.com</a></div><div><br>    </div></div><br><br></div><br><br></div>
