At PES Solar, we believe that a high-quality job starts with a high-quality work environment. Recently, I took our team out to a job site to showcase a piece of equipment that is changing the way we handle our projects: the Equipter.
For many homeowners, the construction process is a mystery. You sign the contract, and a few weeks later, a crew shows up. But how that crew operates determines the quality of your system. This is why we are committed to practices that prioritize both speed and safety for everyone involved.
Here is a look at why we invest in specialized equipment and what sets us apart from other installers in the industry.
Lifting Heavy, The Smart Way
In the traditional solar industry, getting panels onto a roof often involves manual labor—crew members carrying heavy panels up ladders one by one. This is physically exhausting and slow.
On our recent job sites, we have been utilizing the Equipter. This hydraulic lift allows us to take an entire pallet of solar panels and lift it directly from the ground to the roof level.
It might seem like a small detail, but it makes a massive difference in how we execute an efficient solar installation. By mechanizing the heavy lifting, we streamline the workflow and get the materials where they need to be in a fraction of the time.
Prioritizing Employee Health
The biggest reason we use this technology isn’t just speed—it’s our people.
Installing solar is hard work. Lifting panels all day causes significant wear and tear on the body. If a crew member is exhausted from hauling gear up a ladder before they even turn a screwdriver, they aren’t working at their best.
We want to create the healthiest work environment possible for our employees. By removing the physical strain of lifting, we keep our installers fresh, focused, and safe. We believe that taking care of our team is the best way to ensure they take care of your home.
Why This Matters to You
You might be wondering, “Why should I care how the panels get to the roof?”
The answer is simple: Quality Control.
When you hire PES Solar, you are hiring a team that isn’t fatigued by unnecessary manual labor. A crew that utilizes smart tools is a crew that has the energy and focus to pay attention to the details—ensuring your racking is level, your wiring is tidy, and your system is sealed perfectly.
We differentiate ourselves by investing in the best—not just for our bottom line, but for the well-being of our staff and the quality of your final product. If you want to see how our process works for your home, contact us today to learn more.
