Installing Solar Without Ruining A Historic Home
Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.
Synopsis:
Who ever said you can’t teach an old house new tricks? In this video we’re mounting a brand new 56-module solar power system to an almost 150 year-old home. Having successfully lobbied with the Indiana Historic Preservation Committee, we were then ready to duel mysterious roof artifacts and steep pitch for roof-space. Take a look inside a big team effort from the leading solar installer in the Midwest!
Laced within the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices.
