REMINDER FOR EVERYONE WHO HAS
SOLER AND WANTS TO GET OPT
MALPERFORMANCE.
HAT.
I'M ON THE ROOF OF DAVID
GORMAN'S HOUSE FROM REVOLUSUN.
WHAT ARE WE DOING?
WE'RE ON LOCATION.
YOU LOOK PARTICULARLY RAVISHING
WITH YOUR ORANGE REVOLUSUN HAT.
WE'RE HEAR TO TALK ABOUT
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE.
LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE.
PV SYSTEMS.
NOT A LOT TAKE CARE OF IT.
WE WANTED TO SHOW PEOPLE WHAT
IT'S ABOUT.
WE NEED TO CLEAN YOUR PANEL.
WE DO.
WHAT TYPE OF THINGS CAN
HAPPEN?
THEY CAN MAKE THEM NOT AS
EFFICIENT.
AMOUNT OF DIRTINESS ON MY
WHEN THEY GET A LAYER OF SALT
PRESENCE --
Tannya: PRESENCE.
YOU DECREASE THE AMOUNT OF
PRODUCTION, WHICH WILL AFFECT
YOUR ELECTRIC BILL.
John: WE'RE HARNESSED UP.
WHAT'S THE PROCESS LIKE?
FOR SURE.
WE'RE UP ON A ROOF.
SAFETY IS OUR NUMBER ONE
PRIORITY AT REVOLUSUN.
WE'RE UP HERE.
WE'RE HARNESSED LIKE OUR WORKERS
ARE.
ONE OF THE REASONS YOU PROBABLY
DON'T WANT TO DO THIS.
MY ROOF IS KIND EVER EASY TO GET
OFF.
GOOD TO HIRE PROFESSIONALS.
IF YOU SEE ANY SPIKE IN YOUR
ELECTRIC BILL, IT COULD BE DUE
TO SOILING ON YOUR PANEL OR YOUR
AIR CONDITIONER RUNNING MORE
THAN USUAL.
IF YOU'RE IN THE BACK OF A
MOLD.
YOU HAVE TREES.
THERE'S GOING TO BE DEBRIS.
YOU KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
LOOK AT YOUR CAR.
HOW DIRTY DOES YOUR CAR GET?
SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO YOUR
PANEL.
Tannya: I'M ON THE ROOF.
SHALL WE GET TO WORK?
WE'LL WATCH HIM CONTINUE GETTING
TO WORK.
Tannya: I'M GOING TO GET TO
SUPERVISE?
ERIC, I SEE A SPOT THERE.
[LAUGHTER]
HOLDING ON.
TANNYA KEEPS NOTICING YOU KEEP
MISSING SPOTS.
SHE'S TAKING MATTERS INTO HER
HANDS.
HAND HER THE WAND.
MY PLEASURE.
Tannya: I THOUGHT YOU'D
NEVER ASK.
SORRY, I'M GETTING EVERYONE WET.
TRY TO GET THAT GRIME.
Tannya: THIS IS FUN.
YOU'RE HIRING NOW?
I COULD DO THIS.
NOW THAT WE'VE GOT THE PANELS
CLEAN, SQUEEZY OFF THE WATER SO
WE DON'T GET ANY WATER SPOTS.
GO DOWN.
Tannya: THIS WAY?
THERE YOU GO.
Tannya: NOT AS EASY AS IT
LOOKS.
ANY OTHER TIPS FOR PEOPLE WHO
CURRENTLY HAVE PV 13. PV?
THERE IS A BUNCH OF WIRING
AND OVER TIME, THEY CAN GET
LOOSE.
THE PANELS.
SOME STAPPING ON THE SIDE OF THE
HOUSE, WE CAN REPAIR THAT AND
STUFF THAT HAPPENS OVER TIME.
Tannya: IF YOU JUST BOUGHT
A HOUSE WITH PV, WOULD YOU REM
THIS?
WE GET LOTS OF CALLS.
WE'RE STARTING TO DO PV
INSPECTION.
IF YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S
WORKING, GIVE YOU A WRITTEN
REPORT SHOWING THE SYSTEM WAS
PROPERLY INSTALL, MAKING SURE
IT'S DOING WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO
AND IF YOU WANT US TO CLEAN IT,
WE CAN DO IT.
Tannya: REVOLUSUN WILL TAKE
I WON'T BE THERE.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU FOR COMING UP HERE.
GET IT OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM.
YOU'RE GOING TO CRITICIZE.
John: NO.
YOU DID IT BACKWARDS.
Tannya: IT WAS DIFFICULT.
John: YOU WERE THE
SUPERVISOR.
PRETTY EASY.
I WOULD SAY ANYTHING HIGHER THAN
A 1 STORY ROOF, LET THE
PROFESSIONALS DO IT.
Tannya: YOU WOULDN'T THINK
ABOUT IT BUT IF YOU HAVE BIRD
DROPPINGS OR LIVE NEARED WATER,
IT WILL EFFECT HOW EFFICIENT
THEY'LL BE.
John: HERE IN HAWAII, WE
LIVE NEAR WATER.
Tannya: INSPIRED?
I KIND OF KNOW HOW TO DO IT.
YOU WANT ME TO HELP?
[LAUGHTER]
I'LL BRING CAT FOOD.
John: I'LL MAKE SURE
THERE'S A STICK CONNECTED.
Tannya: I WAS WEAR THESE
HIGH HEELS THE APPROXIMATE.
THE -- I HAD TO BUY
