Pest Control
Yes, solar does have pest control. The solar array on your roof is attractive to animals. Flatiron Solar installs screening for every client to prevent animals from building nests under your array. It can become expensive if a squirrel chews through the wires, or a nest gets to be a fire hazard with all the dry sticks and leaves, or the fecal matter creates an unsanitary situation. Flatiron Solar will repair any damage, remove and clean any built up debris, and install screening to prevent further issues with nature.

Solar Hot Water System Removal
When a system is determined to no longer be of any use to a home’s energy system, Flatiron Solar will remove the solar panels from the roof and remove the (heavy) storage tank and controls from the mechanical room. The piping protruding through the roof will be capped. The hole sealed and roofed to maintain the integrity of the roof against leaks. The piping entering and leaving the mechanical room would be capped to prevent any remaining fluid or condensation to drip out. The storage tank can be cumbersome and all materials are recycled and disposed of properly. These systems are sometimes called “orphan systems” and need a new home.

Remove and Reinstall
When a homeowner is in need of a new roof, Flatiron Solar will work with all involved, roofing companies, insurance companies, and homeowners to ensure a smooth and prompt project. Often Flatiron Solar employees will be on the roof with the roofers working together with all involved, roofing companies, insurance companies, and homeowners to ensure a smooth and prompt project. Often Flatiron Solar employees will be on the roof with the roofers working together to keep the project on time. The Flatiron Solar advantage is the roofing companies warranty is preserved, the roofers do all the roofing, flashing around the feet supporting the solar system. Flatiron Solar places the feet between “tear off” of the old shingles and installation of the new shingles. Then Flatiron Solar re-installs the solar system, re-commissions and tests for proper operation. Flatiron Solar reshaped the layout of a system when the homeowner mentioned the original shape wasn’t to her liking. We offered some options and agreed to which design was best. The system was on a triangular area of the roof and instead of the stair step edges, Flatiron Solar reduced the number of steps on one side to give a smoother edge to the array. Now the appearance of the solar array is more pleasing when walking up to the front door of the home.
Do It Yourself (DIY)
Clients can utilize any number of Flatiron Solar services from system design, drawing an electrical diagram, layout of the array, to teaching the client how to install their own system. Save thousands of dollars by doing the labor yourself.
