Panel Lifting Bag

[SRE]

Sorry, couldn't find the earlier thread ... we bought these last week, fab service, reasonable price to have a go and see if they were of any use - the verdict - fab!! Can still use winch if there's a bit of wind and look loads more professional. We got 2 so that when one was going up on the winch the other was being loaded - for £90 you can't really go wrong.

Great service, I was out doing surveys so couldn't respond to their email about payment, they did a quick credit check and sent the bags out for next day delivery for me. Impressed

do you use your own winch or do you find scaffolding to supply it?. I'm doing 84 panels tomorrow. No winch, no bags. Just my shoulder, a ladder, and a muddy field!.

I'm on my own as well. Brilliant. Anyone want to help??

Just picked up a cheap winch on Tinternet. It's often too windy to use it but the bags do provide a bit of protection.

Think of how much you're saving on the gymn moving them all yourself!!

Looks like a decent system. Is that guy in the second photo wearing a safety hat? I wouldn't want a 20kg solar panel slipping out of its harness and landing on my head from a height!
