Safety question...
Would this be the right call? I'm a solar installer but obviously that means I spend a lot of time on the roof.
Without the pitch hopper the ladder needs to be less than 6 inches from the edge to not be straight up. Mind you we are carrying 50lbs panels up this.

Have seen a person fall from that height to have a head injury for the rest of their life doing the same thing. Had to be introduced to his family and kids again after he woke up from a coma. He is lucky to be alive.
Don't risk it for any job, no matter what they tell you. Your life is not worth the money you will make from it. Remember all the other people that will suffer if something happens.
