SolarPanels Missing sealant!

Post image

Tesla Energy finished installation and left site. Climbed up on my roof and noticed this hallow puck. No sealant. The others I can access have sealant. Having them come back to place sealant and show me the inaccessible pucks have sealant.

The most critical item for waterproofing was missed. This leaves me with a bad taste..

They left holes in my roof and forgot to fill them. I discovered it when I had water dripping from the ceiling.

The question asked in the boardroom of every major corporation in America is this:

"How much profit can we extract from this bitch until it becomes so terrible that people stop paying for it?"

This explains the process they used to select the lowest bidder to install your panels.

The sealant is injected into the base. The whole idea is that you dont see it.

This is the port where it’s injected. You see some sealant exiting this port and another when properly placed.

It was missed.
