earthrealm:What is the average lifespan of the AGM variety? Can it give up to 5 years? If one goes for a quality brand? |

Now that @zeestone has come out and clarified, has his business collapsed? You left out the part that he sent roofers and paid for it. You also left out the part that you contacted him a second time to come fix 5 panels which he declined because he was busy. If his job was so bad the first time, I doubt you would reach out to him again. @firethesun, How do you feel now that he has clarified? When service providers own up to their mistakes, customers can review and decide if they want to use them. If everyone does not mention names, how do we do due diligence on the thread? By contacting every installer and travelling from state to state to go see their jobs? Shey na Nairaland everybody meet. Na here the reviews suppose Dey. I just want to make common sense!! |

zeestone99:Thanks for the enlightenment , it is an eye opener. Two sides to a story. It takes a true professional to speak out. You even paid for the repairs you try.. |
| Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by FireTheSun: 3:36pm On Jul 22, 2022 |
zeestone99:I want to believe you have your reasons for identifying yourself as the Installer. If you did not, you can bet l wont, it is not my style of correcting someone. But you have, so that burden is no longer on me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, I will MENTION and EXPLAIN a few things: - How can you say: "we did a fine install but you had leaks"? (in the Roof, after your work) Are Leakages in the Roof, (when l did not have them before you came to install), part of this "fine install"? - How can l confirm to you that "we are good", when it has not rained, after the effort of the person you sent, and when you asked? I confirmed to you that he came and did his job, "hopefully" the leakage would have been rectified, but that can only be determined after it rains again! Yes, we had Leaks, even after his effort . Not because he did not do a good Job but because he can only do as much! He was able to block some visible Nail holes but the damage was varied and widespread The Roofer you sent tried his best (you should have brought along this Roofer with you, when you came to do the installation) but "Squashed" Aluminum Steptiles Roofing Sheets are impossible to be straightened up again after crushing it by walking on them without due care, anyone who had seen Steptiles Aluminum Roofing Sheets, knows this. We had Leakages from various Nail points as well.. I was "shocked" since that was my first experience of a Leaking Roof ( and angry" as well), though internally, l was blaming myself, for the choice l made. I just decided to "learn the lessons" and concentrate effort to rectify the problem, as quickly as possible. The "other side" could not have been repaired, when the Roofer you sent came to do the repair because, as of that moment, l never knew there were leaks on that side too (My Tenant was not around during that period when you installed the Panels on his side). I did not say the "repairs" will cost over #2M. What l said was that l will have to replace the Roofing Sheets with new ones, at over #2Million. Replacement => Put in fresh Roofing sheets. Repair => Call Roofer to be looking for Holes to plug. But he cant push-back-out and straighten all the depressions caused by your Legs marching (carelessly) on the Steptile Aluminum Roofing Sheets, can he?. Somethings, when damaged, can never go back to their original form, even after repair. What you do is replace them, if you want to go back to your initial state before the damage. That is current state of the problem now. When it rains, depending on the intensity of the rain, those "Foot Depressions" act like BOWLS, they store rain water and then when full, the Water overflows in a direction of least resistance, without following the grooves, (as it would have done in an undamaged Roofing Sheet) which can be anywhere on the roof! Roofing sheets on a Roof are meant to have smooth grooves and slanted in a particular direction so that water flows down as it drops on it, without accumulating in "big depressions" created by squashing of 10 People's feet walking on the Roof .....without a care or as if it is made of Wood! I explained all these to you back then. I took pictures and sent them to you. The Roofer you sent did try to "push-back-out" some of these Squashed Depressions on the Steptile Roofing Sheets, (from inside the Ceiling) but in most cases, they only got worse because Steptile Roofing Sheet are not supposed to be pushed in and out, due to the designs on them and the Depressions were just too many. l am the sort of person that likes inconveniencing people, including my tenant, with a leaking Roof. How does someone pay me premium Money for a House and he has to be collecting water in his Bedroom, Kitchen, etc, because the House Owner installed Solar Panels? What l wont take, l wont do to others and l have promised him that once l am back in the country from my Travels, l will replace All the Roofing Sheets in that area that were depressed with your feet and leaking, with new ones. By my estimate, it will cost over #2Million to complete the job. That is what l wrote. If your intention is to contest the amount, then go and find out how much they sell a length of 0.55 gauge Aluminum Steptile Roofing sheet and multiply by how many will cover the area, (add accessories like Nails, Flyband, rent Ladder, etc to it and include workmanship). Add the cost of damaged, suspended Ceilings to it (areas where the Water leaked unto the suspended Ceilings and they buckled, after getting soaked) But l am sure you would have learned some lessons from that job, which is the crucial thing. - Like not having too many people on the Roof, at the same time. Just the minimum required. At that time you were doing my Installation, you had yourself and four other guys on my Roof a few times though most times, you were on the ground.! It was as if my Roof was being used as a 'teaching experiment'. As you guys were working and walking around on the Roof, l could hear the sound of "Crushing of the Roofing Sheet", with each Step taken, as they were walking on it! I am sure you remember how l was raising the Alarm that you guys will damage this Roof? The Crushing sound was so evident from inside the House! You kept assuring me nothing will happen and l believed you, against my instincts. I want to believe such wont happen in the future, when you install for others. Experienced Installers should know how to delicately walk on the Roof without Squashing the Aluminum Steptile Roofing Sheet, those things are kind of fragile. Like l said, another installer (just Three people, only Two were on the Roof, One was Down) recently installed additional Five Panels (655W each) earlier this year, all the area he worked on, not a single leak and the rain has been brutal this year, so it is not about the material or style of Roof, it is just "inexperienced" Workmanship. Remember you told me l have to buy another Inverter, if l were to add those New, Five Panels? Well, we did not have to buy any other Inverter, the New Installer l engaged just re-arranged the whole configuration and it is pumping out Power mercilessly.. We are completely off-grid in the last four Months-plus and Electric Cooker, Washing Machine, Submersible Pumps, Freezers and all other Home appliances are under normal use, though we do stagger and Submersible Pump not to run around 2pm only. Why did l mention this? It appears there is a "knowledge gap", when you told me l cant add those New Panels to the existing ones, unless l buy a Second Inverter (which l would have done, if you came that day as l had called Gennextechnologies office immediately). You said you needed to run them New Panels separately on a separate Inverter, for them to work. As God will have it, l did not have to buy another Inverter. My aim, in not mentioning the identity of the Installer (which drew the ire of some people here), is to mention the problem so the installer or anyone in such position, can learn from such mistakes, without damaging the image or brand of such offending Installer. I have No Apology for that decision, that is who l am I never raised the issue here, until l was "wowed" by the Installation of that many panels by @Chris and even at that, l still kept your identity PRIVATE, with someone abusing me over it!. Having worked for me and our discussions about 'Unilag', you obviously knew, as an elderly person, exercising control over one's anger, even when l feel offended, is not unusual, would l ask you to come and replace the Roof that was damaged? (I remember explaining the issue of "vicarious liability" to you, on phone) Being Vindictive, is not one of my attributes moreover, l passed those stages, a long time ago, l dont know who my own grown-up children will meet, in far flung places. I hope this brings Closure to the whole matter, now that the Installer has identified himself. |

Hello everyone and professionals in this thread. Am having a problem with my setup and need help My equipment CC - Fangpusun 60a Inverter - Felicity ivps3524 combined with charger Battery - 2 wakatek 5kw lithium in parallel Problem: Both cc and inverter are set to charge at Abs 28.8v Flt 28.8v However, during the day whenever the cc reads 28.8v, the bms of the battery will read 26.7v at most. This shows a difference of 1.1v in charging. During the night, when the inverter is charging via grid and reads 28.8v the bms of the battery will be 27.3 or 4 max I am thinking of going with the bms reading and adding at least 1v to the cc and inverter charger setting. I also came across this on YouTube https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxoY4QXwrIJw9Va7P_grNiSQdZuhwT66at Help me pls, I really don't want to fry this new expensive batteries |

FEGEITOK:Dont drain ur leadacid battery below 50% , dont leave it always partially discharged, it likes being charged full daily + dont load or charge it above 15 %, ie not more than 30amps or above 300 watts load for a single 12 volts 200 ah battery.then a good leadacid can give you 800 cycles.. Lithium battery doesnt care for any of the rules above and has 4000 cycles, before loosing 20 percent capacity. From the above, u can see why leadacid will always disappoint, as its tough to give it what it likes |

sharks776:What does the inverter say the voltage is during those periods? Get a trustworthy multimeter. It will solve most of these problems. I also own a felicity 100a SCC and I know the voltage reading is not accurate and is usually higher than stated, but luckily I have a bmv battery monitor and multimeter to counter the error |

samnaija:You know the funny thing. He confirmed excellent job by the roofer. Now he's saying it's because rain did not fall, but now that rain fell and he feels he still have issues. He didn't even call me or call the roofer to correct them. He came here and he's saying he doesn't want to call names. I can never understand. |
| Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by zeestone99(m): 3:08am On Jul 23, 2022 |
FireTheSun:Sir if u feel u still have issues call me or call d roofer directly let him come and rectify it. I will attach a screenshot of our conversation so you can remember and know why I didn't bother you again cos I believe all is settled. Yes I told you we can parrallel d inverter(if it supports parrallel) or get a new controller. You have 10 units 535w and 5 units 655w. That's a total of 15panels worth over 8.5kw and it's even Canadian solar You then put this on 5kva 80a axpert that has just around 5kw mppt, you are short changing yourself. Another question is How were they able to parallel 15 panels on the same inverter. Did they parallel 8 panels with another 7. |

FireTheSun:Lol why won't I identify myself, I don't steal, do shady jobs or defraud people. I have many clients turned family here. Now back to the issue sir. if u feel u still have issues call me or call d roofer directly let him come and rectify it. I will attach a screenshot of our conversation so you can remember and know why I didn't bother you again cos I believe all is settled. From the conversation u said u ll fix date with him. I already left the rest for both of u. Yes I told you we can parrallel d inverter(if it supports parrallel) or get a new controller. You have 10 units 535w and 5 units 655w. That's a total of 15panels worth over 8.5kw and it's even Canadian solar You then put this on 5kva 80a axpert that has just around 5kw mppt, you are short changing yourself.

| Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by samnaija: 6:48am On Jul 23, 2022 |
zeestone99:My brother he has said let it rest. Let it go. But I Know you are a professional you even insisted on the advice you gave him earlier on getting an extra cc, which of my opinion makes better sense has the extra power is not utilized. |
