solar panel removal, and re-install on a new metal roof

We put a beautiful new white metal roof on our house this summer, and hired Golden Solar to take down our solar arrays and re-install them after the roofing job was completed. Our solar panels are mounted on racking set at about a 30 degree angle. One group of six panels faces southeast and the other group faces southwest to avoid our big silver maple tree in the middle. Several solar companies we contacted refused to bid the job because the solar panels were larger than most and are not mounted flat on the roof. Golden Solar was interested in doing the job and charged us a fair price. My husband and I are so pleased that we give this company a 12 on a 1-10 scale. The Golden Solar crew worked hard, very carefully, and cooperatively. They were super efficient at taking down the panels and having everything in order, down to the last bolt and nut. After the new roof passed inspection, the crew came back to reinstall the racking and panels. They were very conscientious. As a team, we noticed that they would get together and discuss what approach they would take. The Team Leader took in every ones input and choose the most sound and safe way. When it got to the point of putting the panels back up, they were very balanced in their decisions even with 90 degree temps and the sun beating down on them on top of a white metal roof. They were super safe with rope harnesses and anchor points on the metal racking. Two of the crew, who worked up on the roof, used special boots with magnets in the soles to grip the metal roof. They were so professional and there were no cowboy moves. Golden Solar's bid was well worth every penny of it for the skills and professionalism their team brought to our job. When it came time to wire up the panels, Justin took extra care to protect the wiring from the elements. The solar panels work beautifully again. We would totally recommend Golden Solar to anyone interested in hiring a company that is honorable and honest to deal with. We are so happy to be back on our solar panels. Our Golden Solar team did excellent work and they were great people to meet, too. Side note: Because each solar panel weighed 100+ pounds, we rented a crane to raise each panel up to the crew on the roof. The ground crew loaded each panel into the straps and my husband, Dale, ran the crane. This made the job move efficiently and eliminated having to set the panels down on the metal roof - they could be carried right to the racking and secured.
