    <p>I concur with Dave: Delete and start over.  Its actually faster
      and cheaper than trying to figure out why they did things the way
      they did, and having callbacks where you discover more problems
      you didn't see the first time, etc.  I'll reuse as much of the
      stuff as I can, even cable, but that needs a full DC load center
      like an E Panel.  <br>
    </p>
    <p>Also as Dave said, once you touch it, you own it.  If they can't
      afford to have you redo it, then you can't afford to take it under
      your wing.  Time and materials is the way I do these, because you
      never know what else you might find on day 3 of the rebuild.  I've
      gotten to the point now, that I won't even take these on, unless
      we are providing a majority of new equipment:  Adding to the
      array, replacing the batteries, new inverter, switching to 48v,
      etc. <br>
    </p>
    <p>Every compromise you get talked into now, you will regret later. 
      I've come back 10 years after, and had my techs say: " Who did
      this$#@%!"  and I had to hang my head in shame and explain how we
      were trying to work with what was there, blah, blah.  I will
      repeat: once you touch it, you own it.  Your local reputation is
      represented in the work that you leave behind. <br>

        <div>I'm sure we're not alone in this so I thought I'd find out
          what you all do in these situations:  We were contacted by a
          person that wants us to repair their system.  I ask the
          standard questions you'd expect and also for pictures of their
          system.  Here's the pic (below).  My question is what would
          you say to this person?</div>
