    Solar panels need to be on every home and how new builds in many countries still don’t require them baffles me.

      Might be cause they make roof redos or fumigation even more expensive. I had a customer say they were paying 3k to get their panels removed so they could pay another 3k to fumigate the house. Almost doubled the price.

      Don’t get me wrong, I agree that we should require panels in new builds somehow but I don’t know what the best option is.

        Why did they have to remove the panels in order to fumigate? If the company couldn’t work around them then they should have found a different company.

          You drop heavy ass tarps on the roof and roll them to tent a house, I’m taking couple hundred pound tarps. The workers need to be able to walk on the roof to set them up, the tarps can and have damaged panels so companies in the area don’t fumigate with them on anymore.

          I work closely with a fumigation company and that’s what they’ve told us.
