Trippledots:
Good evening everyone, and happy new year.

My attention was drawn by a member of this group to a mention of my name by INSPECTORMAX. I read through the comments and deliberately chose to observe the discussion before responding, to better understand the perspectives being shared and res

Sometimes maturity means responding quickly; at other times, it means listening first. So far, I have not seen anyone categorically state that Trippledots failed to deliver what was agreed, even based on the version of events presented.

Rather than go into long narratives, I will state some key facts about the installation, in no particular order:

The system was originally designed for a 15 kWh battery. I informed the client that we could instead supply a 16 kWh battery, locally assembled, at roughly the same price I would have charged for the 15 kWh option. After considering different brands, the client agreed to proceed with the full installation on the basis that he was getting a 16 kWh battery at around ₦2m.

The client requested and received a full cost breakdown of the installation (which was an upgrade to an older, failing system). With the involvement of his QS, each line item was reviewed and negotiated. After several discussions, we reached a mutually acceptable all-in price, which the client paid. Chat records are available.

At no point did the client expressly request an LVTOPSUN battery, nor did I discourage one. I simply stated that a factory-assembled 16 kWh battery would cost well above ₦2m, which informed his decision to proceed with a locally assembled option. He was involved throughout the procurement process and was sent a picture of the battery way before delivery was done. There were no objections regarding the battery’s appearance, features, or price, and to date there has been no complaint about performance.

Subsequent concerns raised about communication ports, internal breakers, switches, charging voltage, service centres, and warranty terms were not part of the original agreed requirements. At that point, it became clear that the issue was no longer about performance or specification, but about perceived profit margins.

The installation cost was initially reviewed downward by over ₦600,000, which I declined. After further negotiation, we reached a middle ground, and payment was made promptly. To be clear, the only agreed battery selection criteria were capacity and price—no other technical features were discusse or agreed upon.

As an added note, I supplied 535W bifacial Jinko panels instead of the originally designed 500W panels, and upgraded the PV cable from 10 mm to 16 mm, all at no additional cost to the client. These decisions were made to improve system quality, even though they reduced my margin.

In conclusion, I have consistently maintained—both privately and publicly—that what was agreed is what was delivered. The final procurement cost of individual components is not the client’s concern once specifications, scope, and price have been negotiated, reviewed, and accepted.

To the client’s credit, he did request a refund for the balance of unused PV cable. While I declined a cash refund, I offered to return the remaining cable, despite having supplied a higher-grade cable at a higher cost than originally specified. He motioned that I could retain the remainder, and I appreciate that.

I have tried to be as concise as possible while providing clarity and clearer context to his narrative.

Cheers.
