<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>

<p>Since it would not pass a home insurance or building department
inspection, it would have to be start fresh. Once you get your
hands on it, it is yours. Good Luck!</p>

all,
<div> </div>
<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>
