Re: I'm getting solar panels. I'll let you know how it goes in this discussion thread.
installation hasn’t happened yet. They have been out once so far to look at the support structure of the house frame.
During the quote process I sent them photos of the attic and the floor plans.
Since this roof supported 2 layers of shingles for about 30 years and now has one layer, and since it’s built with old growth pine with old, larger dimensions that is very strong I personally am not worried about it.
Panels weigh like 3 pounds per sq ft. My understanding is that roofs are expected to be able to carry 20 pounds per sq ft of snow without stress.

Re: Cold Radiator
That section of horizontal riser on the top floor most likely is the trap . The radiator need to be lifted to regain the pitch in that section . Someone pulled the radiator to finish the radiator nook and left the shims out .
Hope this helps

that’s it! All installed in one day, pretty good! It won’t start operating until it clears inspections. And since my boiler, water heater, and panel upgrade, all performed by me passed, I have a feeling this professional job is gonna be fine.
without talking prices, this is about the same as a high quality steam boiler install in NJ
Re: Energy Kinetics System 2000 Heat Exchanger
You can look on supplyhouse.com for what brazed plate heat exchangers that size and number of plates cost. The one custom fabricated to EK's specs and with a special coating and some markup to cover their distribution costs will give you an idea of what a fair price is.

sounds like you may need some seismic restraints back there?
If there is access to the underside of the roof, we found it easier to miss the rafter and block across two of them and anchor to the block. Finding dead center of a rafter from above is not so easy as you may have discovered.
This was for thermal collectors, fewer mounts required.
