We are installing a p.v system in a property and the inverter (approx 50kg) is to be situated in the loft space. I am considering using a tri-pod lift through the hatch, but due to limited space this may not be possible.Has anybody any ideas on the safest way of getting the inverter into the loft space.
Cheers

I have that at 7.8 stone, plus the weight of say 10 stone person in the attic trap area. At close to 18 stone at the trap door edge with out the tripod take care! . Once up in the roof have you sorted out how to get it to the fixing position?
Baring the tripod I can't for the life of me think of anything other than taking the inverter to the roof via the external scaffold and removing tiles (not a real option I guess, just clutching at straws here)
Is it a sunnyboy or the larger type? Not sure but I think the sunnyboy is lighter.

Zimmy, i am going to lay ply and slide it into position using somekind of sled, havent thought what yet tho. If we were to go through the roof it would mean breaching the felt and then having to remove a large area of tile to repair therefore bumping up the cost significantly. I think there would be more issues trying to gain access this way.
Thanks for reply tho , keep them coming.

No other option open to you then Leerob? I don't like the idea of putting the inverter in the roof for maintenance reasons but I realise that if the dwelling doen't have space by the intake to accommodate the inverter and switching one is limited. No garage to hand? I guess you have taken all options into consideration anyway so forgive the obvious here.
