Mr. I also entrusted us with the roof overlay work!
We have also uploaded construction photos of the roof overlay work, so please take a look if you are interested!
We handled the removal of the water heater along with the roof work, and this removal was completed for 80,000 yen!
Solar Water Heater Removal Procedure
1. Drain the water from the storage tank
We drain it slowly as it may put a load on the roof.
2. Disassemble the solar water heater
Disassemble into the storage tank and collector.
After disassembling, lower each part one by one.
3. Lower the collector
Lower the collector (panel).
Support it with a rope and slide it down.
In some cases, an electric winch may be used for lifting.
4. Lower the storage tank
Lower the storage tank.
Like the collector, support it with a rope and slide it down.
5. Remove pipes and hoses
Remove hoses and other connections that were attached to the storage tank.
6. Collect all wires and debris
That concludes the process.
There are various types of solar water heaters. With the current focus on renewable energy such as natural energy, solar water heaters have also evolved, and there are now more lightweight and durable products available.
However, solar water heaters are generally heavy, with most products weighing close to 100 kg even when empty. It is common for the collector alone to weigh over 60 kg. If the solar water heater is filled with water, its weight can easily exceed 300 kg.
In other words, the weight on the roof puts a burden on it.
While the solar water heater is still in use, it’s fine, but once it becomes old and unused, the equipment supporting the solar water heater will deteriorate. If the bolts or wires that secure the main body of the solar water heater deteriorate, it may not withstand disasters such as heavy rain or typhoons.
Therefore, it is important to remove unused solar water heaters as soon as possible!
