I have 2 things I need to get done related to my existing 20 panel system.
A local solar repair company that's well reviewed on Yelp here in the San Francisco area quoted me the below. The hurry up and buy price tactic at the end threw me off though so I'm hoping people around here can guide me on whether this is a deal I should act on ASAP or just the standard price.
SCOPE OF WORK:
We will remove all solar panels and any roof mounted electrical parts and we will have to replace ALL:
1) roof mounts
2) solar support rails (the solar panels sit on top of the support rails)
3) panel retention clamps (they secure the panels to the rails and hold the panels in place)
4) add internal bonding to the entire system (required to protect your home from electrical grounding issues)
5) we will have to replace all roof mounted electrical infrastructure from the edge of the roof to the solar panels, including metal conduit, new wires and weather rated junction boxes.
We charge $1,100 flat fee to remove the system and store the panels at your home in your yard or garage.
2nd trip out is to reinstall the system and recommission it. This occurs after your roofer finishes completely and successfully passes the Building Department's final inspection. We charge $94 per roof mount and these charges include all parts, materials and labor outlined in our second and third trips to your home, as outlined above. Based upon your panel layout, 40 new construction mounts will be required to successfully reinstall your solar electric system.
Total price:
$1,500 (remove) + $3,760 (Reinstall) = $5,260
SCOPE OF WORK:
1. Remove old micro-inverters and old wiring
2. Install new Micro-inverters and Enphase IQ Cables - Enphase IQ7PD-84
3. Install Enphase IQ combiner box (specs attached) - Enphase IQ Combiner 4/4C
4. Run 2 strings from the roof down to IQ combiner box
5. Run a new point of connection from IQ combiner box to main electrical panel
Cost:
$249 per micro-inverter + $1,249 (to install IQ combiner Box) = $6,229
Total:
$5,260 (reroof) + $6,229 (Enphase Upgrade) = $11,489
If we can sign the contract before end of this year, we can offer a one time deal at the total cost of $7,947. I will email you our service agreement through adobe sign and the link will be active until 12/31 6:00pm.
- Panel removal/replacement cost: Replacing our 20 yr old roof soon that has 20 panels on it that are about 15 years old. Roofer says I need to remove/reinstall the panels for them to properly do the roof replacement. Does anyone have a rough idea on how much per panel I should be paying to remove/replace?
- Upgrade the built in micro inverters attached to my panels: 4.1kW Solar System with 20 SunPower SPR-240E-WHT-U-ACPV panels. They came with built in micro inverters on each panel. The monitoring system that worked with the micro inverters no longer works and there is no support or replacement easily found. Looking to replace them with modern-ish technology like Enphase products
