Does anyone have suggestions on taking this apart? It’s an hour away so it’s hard to make a trip to see what tools we’d need etc. Anyone have experience with these?

Looks a lot like a Janco. If so no special tools are needed but you’ll want to have a good battery powered drill/screwdriver/socket set to speed up removal. You’ll need a bunch of razor knives to cut the putty/butyl rubber strips out so you can remove the glass.
Label the hell out of it all. Grease pencils to number the glass and structure pieces, up arrows on everything, etc. Don’t want to end up back home not remembering what goes where. Be super careful with those curved glass pieces- they are over $200 each to replace last time I checked.

Those top panels look to be 12 to 14 feet off the ground. There’s no way you are DIYing this. You’ll need scaffolding and a crew to do this safely. This is multiple days worth of work to disassemble. If you are serious about this, then make the 1 hour drive to really look at it and plan it out.

Might be worth asking a sunroom company to do the disassembly for you. I asked such a company to do this on a freestanding sunroom which measured 24’x’50. Cost me $4000 for their labor.
