Has anybody installed Felicity Solar System in their project? I need to know the reliability of this system before I delved into it.
I was going for Victron but the price is high now, I am a kobo-kobo man with no deep pockets.
Advantage and Dis-advantage of this Felicity Solar System will be appreciated.
I am interested in the 10kva Hybrid with Lithium Battery setup.
Thank you.

In my experience, well known (read as expensive) brands cost twice more than these alternatives. But they normally (normally, because they are equally affected by surges) outlast them by far, because they are built to last.

It is not like the those ones will fail completely, but there will usually be one reason, or another, why they might need to visit the workshop. However, they always return back to work.

Note: I haven't used any felicity product, but I have used about 10 different ones (including popular Indian models eg Genus, Luminous, ipower, Bluegate, etc) that are all hovering around the same price point. So my assumption is that they will all behave the same in-terms-of reliability.

However, I bought one Victron and one midnite solar for different projects in 2016, and there has not been any reason to re-boot, talk less of inviting a technician till date.

It all depends on the monetary value you attach to peace of mind

QuestionMan016:



What I'm asking,hiring an engineer seem like a waste of money,I plan to pay only the architect,can the brick layers work with the plan of the architect? Or can I pay the architect to monitor the project as an engineer too?

I'm trying to avoid unnecessary waste of money.

Yes, you can get an architect to design and also supervise the build especially if it's not a building with suspended floors. A good architect can handle it.

Some have turned This thread to charity organization.
“It’s waste of money to hire engineers but it’s good to have there professional idea when it’s needed here for free.
Nothing wey musa no go see for gate.

The problem for me is the charging in percentage!!

When you charge for plumbing work, do you also charge labor as a percentage?

Maybe you can explain to me why your labor charges has to vary widely between when I choose cheap sanitary wares vs the expensive ones

I was fortunate to get engineers that charge per milestone.
Milestone =
From foundation to DPC
DPC to Lintel
DPC to Deck/Slab
Roofing
Finishing (plastering, windows ,doors ,plumbing ,etc)

Thank you very much. Victron was my first choice because of their reliability but the cost fir a 10kva with Lithium Battery will drain my wallet. If I will be on ground for whole year then it will worth but coming home for one month and about 4/5 times a year may probably not make economical sense.
But you are right MONEY will be an object in the implementation. Thanks again.

I usually calculate by measuring the length.. this will help determine the quantity of materials to use… then charge accordingly…

Some charge per space area
