Solar panel removal: paint suggestions?

[Owain]

My panel gave up the ghost after three years and i bought renogy to replace it.

Rather than glue (sikaflex) over existing i decided to remove. Mechanically by hand as its the only way.

See the picture; i got frustrated at one point and had a little tug.

So now i want some paint suggestions. Something I can hand paint on. Does not have to look super. I just want something to protect the metalwork.

As you see from picie. Top layers have peeled and it looks like its down to undercoat.

Suggestions for something i can paint with a brush from toolstation, screwfix etc. So i can run out and do it now....what paint guys?

Looking more closly at paint. I see "bubbling" where no sika was. I would say this is a paint / thermal issue. I would imagine these panels get very hot on a metal roof.

And thermal degredation is an issue with these panels.


Also anyone gluing these panels with sikaflex, you probably only need 10% of what you are probably using. It is indestructible and you may want to remove the panel one day.
