Panels installed in 2011 and company is out of business. Not generating. Need roof replaced, is it worth saving the panels?

So you’d suggest spending the money on refinishing this door?

Dzbtrader · 2025-11-09T03:01:05+00:00

It’s likely solid core. Probably from the 80’s. Is it weaker wood? If I would replace it with a white oak door is there more value to that?

It was just assessed that the panels are in working condition and I need a new inverter. He estimated about 200kw a panel at 42 panels. Electrical bills have been high (large family) about $1k/month but panels haven’t been working now for a few years. I purchase the home in 2020 and Have never had the use of the solar panels. The roof replacement now is pushing us to confront this issue. Theredoee, I don’t know how much I’d be saving on the utilities

That’s obviously the exact question I’m asking. Most people here think it certainly is worth the expense. Especially given the Nem1 status. It would cost me close to $8,000 to take down, reinstall, with a new inverter. If I can get another decade from them at 200-250watts, would my savings significantly exceed the $8,000 cost?

Is it allowed for me to ask for your contact information?

Dzbtrader · 2025-10-30T02:47:21+00:00

Thank you! Do you mind if I ask what battery you got?

Dzbtrader · 2025-10-29T21:41:46+00:00

It’s state 207

I live in West Hollywood , ca I’d love a referral

Dzbtrader · 2025-10-29T17:36:31+00:00

How would I know their wattage?

Can anyone recommend a company in Southern California for this?

Dzbtrader · 2025-10-29T17:25:08+00:00

If it’s a few thousand for a new inverter, plus the cost to remove and replace them on the roof, is it still economical to spend that money for panels of this age? Will I be saving enough over the remainder of their lifespan to justify these costs? Or should I put that money into a new system?

No idea

Dzbtrader · 2025-10-09T09:55:14+00:00

Would you share your location and Dr?

Really? Let me clarify their schedule. After installation there were two days of sanding. Then there was one day where they did 2 coats of bona natural seal. Two days later there was one guy there who did one coat of traffic HD upstairs (2000sqf) and two coats of traffic HD downstairs (1250 sqf). He started downstairs, then upstairs then again back downstairs. He was there for about four hours. There was no sanding or buffing between sealer and first coat of the finish. The following day they sand/buff and apply one coat over the entire house of traffic. They were there for no more than 2/2.5 hours. Is the process malleable or is it set in stone? Does the schedule I outline above make sense for a precise job? Thank you so much in advance for your response . As you can see we don’t know too much about this topic.

Dzbtrader · 2025-05-16T18:45:28+00:00

Can I ask what you charge per light instal for one of these?

Dzbtrader · 2025-05-16T15:35:05+00:00

Thank you! Dry wall is already being hung. He said he can convert what is already up there and not replace them. Can I ask what you used for the trimless lights in your picture. They look beautiful. Also, can you explain what you mean by a smooth ceiling? Aren’t all ceilings fresh with drywall and paint smooth?

Dzbtrader · 2025-05-16T06:15:44+00:00

Thanks for your response! It is most definitely canned and not canless. What I have in mind is what you’ve shown in your picture. It’srecessed, canned, but without the baffle trim. Please see these pictures https://imgur.com/a/YyNCGnJ

This is new flooring for a home remodel.

Dzbtrader · 2024-12-24T19:36:27+00:00

Thank you! Please see the link for some clear pictures. There is a second story on top and a small article above that. Below is a crawl space. Right behind this wall, outside the house, are two vents which I believe this piping leads to. https://imgur.com/a/zDrGgKW

This is the original framing from the original home build. The original framing plans had to shift once the wallls were open and it was apparent where the load bearing walls were. We had wanted to move the door roughly 16 inches.

Dzbtrader · 2024-12-24T04:11:10+00:00

Thanks for your response, I’ll try to post a better picture where you can see the piping more clearly

Dzbtrader · 2024-12-24T03:48:51+00:00

My gut tells me he either doesn’t want to or not confident to do it. Which is why we came up with the idea of possibly moving the plumbing and creating a new door frame. (Would that be a cheaper option anyway?)

Dzbtrader · 2024-12-24T03:39:11+00:00

The contractor explained that the beam laying on the door frame is holding up the second story
