Re: [VAC] Solar panel placement



NOT TRUE!!!

After the snow melts, lean a ladder against the trailer and locate the
rafters. Do some measuring and figuring and do it again and again.

Feel free to call RV Solar Electric and ask questions. Call more than 
twice and get on a first name basis with whoever answers the phone.

Planning time is critical. Don't start until you have completed the job
twice in your head -- plus have explained it in great detail to someone who 
likes asking you tough questions and won't be in awe of your goal.  

You need to become an expert before you carry the panels out of the
house. Pick a day when no one is expected to interrupt you, when the 
temperature is comfortable for using the tube of sealant, when you are
at peace with the world and full of optimistic enthusiasm. 

If you have a cell phone, program in RV Solar Electric's number but don't
call them. Put the phone in your pocket before going up on the roof. If 
you run into a problem, call them and get a quick answer. Don't mess 
around trying to figure out something on the spot. The goal is to do
the job right the first time. 

Think smart and stay sharp,
Terry
