This video provides key tips for those that are interested in cleaning modules to ensure the job is done properly without doing damage to the panels. As with everything in life, you are certainly entitled to your own opinion as to the value of doing so.

The Solar Panel is about 45 lbs but that varies from one manufacture to another. For visual reference, the guy in the video is only 5ft 6in tall.

Yes, we do ship to Brazil

Completely agree, placing all of your micro inverters and cable first is definitely the way to go for an organized install. This video was not able to be filmed in the exact recommended order for the most efficient install, but to simply showcase the tools that are available to help make the job easier. If one were to install all micro inverters and cable first, the panel hanger would absolutely show it's full value as it provides a way to stack panels without working around those already installed components.

Yes, the Solar Panel Caddy will work just fine an a 1 3/8" solar panel

Glad it was helpful!

They sure can, we are shipping product your way weekly. We do have an additional handling fee to cover the international freight but the fee is per order and not per product so be sure to order everything you want in one shoot to save some money.

We do not currently have a distributor in the Netherlands but we can ship direct. We do have an additional handling fee for international shipments.

Bill, this tool obviously cannot provide an installer the option to "maintain" 3 points of contact when climbing a ladder as the video implies. What we were trying to say, is that when you are on the ladder and something was to happen, such as high wind, that the installer would have 3 point of contact and full control of the solar panel. Which is not a luxury that installers have without this tool. Looking beyond the 3 point of contact controversial conversation, this tool does ensures proper lifting principles and better security as you climb. If a solar installer is going to take the risk of climbing a ladder with a solar panel (which we all know many do), it might as well be as safe as possible. If you are looking for a product that will provide an installer the option to get solar panels to a roof and maintain 3 points of contact, check out our Solar Panel Hoist. It is about $5,000 but it will meet your needs.

The Solar Panel Caddy can carry a single solar panel at a time.

We are not sure if you are asking or telling us whether the Solar Panel Caddy will work or not in the wind so let us clarify. Our company is based out of Sothern Idaho and heavy winds are very common. Carrying solar panels in windy conditions can be very difficult and dangerous. We have found the Solar Panel Caddy to be extremely helpful in windy conditions allowing the carrier of the solar panel to maintain better balance than the traditional method for carrying solar panels. With that said, in very high winds it is plain dangerous for one person to carry a solar panel, especially on a pitched roof, and would suggest that a single panel should be carried by two people verses one.

Great Question........we have not had the opportunity to test this tool on any of Tesla's products but would love too. If you use Tesla's products, we would love for you to get one of our Panel Caddy's and give it a try. We would like to hear your feedback and worst case scenario, if it doesn't work to your liking, you can just send the tool back and get a full refund. We offer satisfaction guaranties on this tool.

LOL....now that's funny!!!! We admit that it has been difficult to keep up with the high demand of this product but we think we have that under control now. As an added bonus, we will have our next batch in stock this week so order yours today and you should have it by the middle of next week.

@@solartoolsusa Oh heck yeah, I ordered it right after I posted this. I am kinda amazed how this product isn't an industry standard. Roofers must be strong as hell. I am even thinking of ordering your automatic lift attachment thing.

Matthew, In the solar industry we sell a very expensive product (solar systems) to customers every day. We do that by breaking down the return on their investment by comparing there cost of the system to the electrical savings. This tool is no different. The majority of the solar industry charges a price per watt to install a system so it doesn't matter if it takes one day or three days, the installers will get paid the same amount. This tool will decrease the time it take you to install a system therefore increasing the profitability on that install. So although this tool may seem expensive to you, it is quite reasonably priced when you take the time to calculate how much more profitable you will be by increasing your install speed. In all actuality, this tool cost less than a single solar panel so is it really that expensive?

YES!!!! we do ship to Switzerland!!! We received your email and replied but thought we would also answer your question here so others could know.

We are not actually a fan of that particular ladder support so we don't offer it. We do however offer a couple other options that we do feel are a bit safer and easier to use. Check out our website under the Safety tab for the options we offer.

Richard, Great Question!!! The answer is yes it can but in our opinion, it doesn't work all that well but it does work. With that said, we have designed a new device specifically for lifting panels to the roof with a rope which should be available for purchase in a few months.

@@solartoolsusa OMG You mention that new design to me just when I just bought you the caddy?.. jaja... well I hope see that soon

Anthony, we agree! For that reason we do have a Solar Panel Hoists that allows you to take up to 5 solar panels to the roof at one time. The Solar Panel Hoist cost a bit more but does allow you to get panels to the roof without having to carry them and stay in compliance with OSHA standards.

David, we are hoping that some of our customers will respond to your question so you get their feedback but until then, we wanted to make sure your questions were answered. To answer your first question, yes, this tool is being used by solar companies all over the world and is our #1 selling product. As for damage to the glass, the answer is no. This tool is designed specifically for carrying solar panels and will not damage the glass. Even more importantly, it will not create micro-fractures in the cells as they are more fragile than the glass and that was our first priority when designing this tool.

Jack, glade we could get everything figured out!! Thanks for your order and you should have your product in about a week. Cheers

We are glad you like the tools and music! We do not currently ship to Nigeria but we can. Send us an email to sales@solartoolsusa.com with your address and what products you would like to order. We can then figure out the additional shipping cost and let you know so you can place your order and know exactly what it will cost to get it to you.

LOL!!!!! Saul, I would love to see a picture of you carrying 3 solar panels at one time!!! Especially up a ladder!!!

Your fulla shit Saul

Me too________I think you play too much Playstation and Weed at the same Time....

Steve, Great Suggestion!!!!! I will address that now!!!!

@@solartoolsusa price??

@@afsalachu4362 Please use the link found in the description above for pricing and details on this product. Thanks

Nope, sure wont! The tool is designed to apply the majority of the pressure to the frame of the solar panel. What little pressure that is applied to the cells is designed for grip and maneuverability. Thanks for asking!

You are going to love it!! You will never want to carry a solar panel by hand again.

Thanks, was are glad you like the concept of how this tool functions. We agree with you that when installing solar panels you should start with the bottom row. If you take some time to watch all our other videos, you will find that they all start with the bottom row. In fact, that is one of the main functions of this tool. Get the first row (the bottom) straight every time, so you can ensure all the rest are the same.

Thank you!!!!

@@solartoolsusa I love this channel so far! Hope you guys keep inventing useful tools and keep the content going. 🤙🏽

The traditional method of carrying solar panels up a ladder is certainly not OSHA compliant either. With that said, this tool does ensures proper lifting principles and better security as you climb. If a solar installer is going to take the risk of climbing a ladder with a solar panel (which we all know many do), it might as well be as safe as can be possible. If you are looking for a tool that is 100% OSHA compliant, we do offer another tool on our website that will meet your needs, if that is what your company is looking for! solartoolsusa.com/solar-panel-hoist/

Thanks for checking out our video and appreciating what this tool can do for you and your installers. Shoot us an email at info@solartoolsusa.com to discuss.

Thank you for you comment, as we can see how our video description could have implied this, though that was not the intention. We have since updated to make it more clear. The traditional method of carrying solar panels up a ladder is certainly not OSHA compliant and our tool obviously cannot provide this either, based on the specific code written about what "3 points of contact" entails. This tool however ensures proper lifting principles and better security as you climb. If a solar installer is going to take the risk of climbing a ladder with a solar panel (which we all know many do), it might as well be as safe as can be possible. We did however just recently add another tool to our website that is 100% OSHA compliant if that is what your company is looking for! Feel free to check out our Solar Panel Hoist.......that will certainty exceed any specific requirements you and your company have. solartoolsusa.com/solar-panel-hoist/
