Anybody else do product research to compare the two? Anybody use SkyTec to install? Comments on their price/performance.

We just arrived yesterday for 5 days to check on the house. Electric meter running in reverse even with AC thanks to the PVs
We had Solar guys out yesterday for estimate
They said the steep roof required a second person would be needed, an extra
Ten feet of tubing, and some extra bucks . No worries
They came out promptly today with two guys and a second vehicle
After dropping the cloths, climbing in the attic, and getting on the roof, they sadly bailed due to the steepness
It would take special safety gear they don't have
We then called SolarLights and More and they, too, don't do light tubes on steep roofs.
Ideas, anyone?
We are somewhere between 10/12 and 12/12 pitch
And kinda high too
Thanks in advance
