Solar installer doesn't want to use existing rough-in pre-wire
We are having some re-model work redone. The electricians installed a 30A pre-wire ( guess they are required), and it can handle about 11 panels, which is great for us and has us at about 110% based on our current usage.
The solar installer wanted to do their own pre-wire to "future proof" it beyond 11 panels for $1500.
They said "-If you want to use the current pre-wire, your electrician needs to run the MC cable up through the roof where the solar panels are to be installed."
I took this as a good sign and suggested we do 11 panels and use the existing pre-wire. Then they responded back:
" -To my knowledge, electricians will not penetrate roofs to run wiring/conduit as it is outside of their scope, and I will not coordinate a solar pre-wire unless my crew is doing the work in order to ensure that the work is done correctly and to the specs required."
Thoughts here?
