DO U KNOW SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM CAN BURN DOWN UR HOUSE ?
just relax and read through.
Make I just warn una..
1) May I warn those who intend to install solar system in their home and trying to look for installers with the cheapest cost but promise to give them plenty component, WE AV several fake solar panels as well repaired panels package as new.. this can react and burn down your house ?
2)May I warn those who believe becos my bros is an electrician or I did elect elect in school, or probably Becos I av solar installation experience or technical experience I can install solar system, MAY U NOT JAM AGBAKO OOO..and burn down person house oo
LISTEN TO THIS..
having technical experience doesn't make you a solar energy professional... You av to Learn the theoretical aspect and also attach yourself with someone who will show u the real practical aspect of solar installation for several jobs, e get somethings u go learn in d class and most things are learnt on the field...
Experience can't be bought, you go through it .
HERE ARE THE THINGS A PERFECT SOLAR ENERGY EXPERT MUST KNOW
solar component combination,
solar adjustment,
Panel connection both series and parallel.
Battery looping and connection
fault tracing very important
solar management,
solar upgrading and downgrading
DC connection
DC balancing
Energy maintainance advise
Negotiation skills
Original Material sourcing
Solar Panel testing with meter
Electrification and seperation
The oga patapata of them all is PACKAGE RECOMMENDATION, the last one has got alot of people who called themselves installers arrested and detained.. atleast av bailed two people out of police detention.. the idiot though Becos he had idea and learnt for few days from me, ran away , he got a client didn't do the right recommendation, did installation and the thing no carry the man freezer and AC, HE was arrested and detained, if not for my intervention, the man wan send am go jail.. in his life, he will not try to install again until he learn to seek advise from experienced installers about recommendation.
3) LISTEN AGAIN Don't ever patronize someone without proper training or proven track records of successful installation, ask questions about his training, let him show u his real jobs not the ones he copied from someone.. jobs with his picture in it . Most of my jobs I posted on Facebook had been copied by some fools and brandished as their own.. don't let anyone fool u into I CAN INSTALL, most just av fair knowledge and jump into the field, HAVING deep knowledge is the best to save u from wasting ur money or wahala with the installer.
Don't let them Do amateur practical work with your building oooo . Even if u rent the house self, landlord fit jail two of u together.
4) there is installation and electrification part of installation make sure they are both handled professionally, electrical wires done for solar fit burn down ur house if the seperation is not done well
5) solar panel combination are done based on the set-up, a good solar installers understands that, u see the burn pics above.. one of them is a job done by an amateur in ibadan, both the engineer and the electrician are in detention now, the house roof got burnt down and building is affected.. u know why? The engineer got my quotation, collect money from client Abroad, called his electrician to get the materials I listed and install it all Becos of gain, he did it, second day when sun came up, panel caught fire, roof caught fire and they got arrested.. client called me and I told him, no be me do am . I knew the engineer will not give the job to me, d moment he asked me to add 200k to the money and I told him am a Christian, I don't do that, I fit settle u from the gain I made . Yes engineer must chop but inflating price for client is not the best and if it must be done, it must be done fairly.., the tiler told me when i went for inspection, SIR ,if u no add his money, he will not give u d job..I 😂 laugh.. na only God dey give person job, 200k is much, aw much be my own gain self..shey this man wan kill his client ni . Haba.. he wanted to collect commission from me and also the 200k join together.. thats crazy now ..I also av building project I supervise for clients abroad, no be so e suppose be na.. EWO NI AJEPA ... he went ahead to finish himself Sha. ..am sure police go show him shege Becos all those who worked in d house was arrested and they confessed to the price inflation crime...
6) lastly ensure u av good relationship with your installers, na d person wey install for u go sabi maintain for u. Get someone u can trust , call at anytime or seek advise from to install for u, na person wey install go fit maintain oo...
7) pls ensure he got the right and original materials for u, refurbished battery plenty, used battery plenty, repaired inverter package as new plenty, fake MPPT and PWM controller plenty, fake cables plenty,.. always ensure u check the materials supplied before u allow installation... There is Nothing some installers can't do for money... Pls shine ur eyes.. ma ur money, na ur headache e go be ooo.
😎 for the client I av one advise, get low watt gadget so u can enjoy ur solar system.. the fact that u av 2 or 4 big batteries doesn't mean u can Use them anyhow.. Ceiling fan consumes too much, get a low watt led standing fan to reduce pressure on ur battery,. Don't use tokunbo freezer or fridge, get a brand new modern freezer or fridge, your AC must not be more than 1hp or 1.5hp and it must be new not tokunbo oo and also inverter compressor AC watch when u use them too, calculate the time , keep ur eyes on the sun.. e get somethings u can use when sun is up like AC and freezer, before the sun disappears, off the two unless y av alternative means of charging ur battery.. ac and freezer sabi drain battery eehn . e get some u can't use when u are on battery..
Allow ur solar system to charge, sometimes u shut ur solar system down and let all coming from panel land on battery to charge it.
9) for the installers, always ensure u get original materials for ur client.. thunder will fire u if u get refurbished or used battery for ur client ooo.. e dey pain me when person suffer to get money and u choose to be selfish by getting fake materials.. even if he doesn't know, GOD KNOWS.. aw u wan take succeed in life .
10) dear Client, pls Always tell ur installers to find where sun is on ur roof and don't let him put the panel out of ur reach or on edge of roof .. in d dry season time when rain no dey, u will sometimes need to clean the surface with water, u need to be able to use hoose or splash water on ur panel surface, if Dem don carry am go roof top, na OYO u dey oo.
THIS ONE IS VERY IMPORTANT..
11) pls stop looking for someone who can install for u for cheap, install base on what u av and if u are not ready financially don't do it if u have a little speak with ur installer he can do something for u and u can upgrade it later ,it's better than risking ur money and properties. cheap things are bad, get someone who is good and can give u reasonable price. U can negotiate.. Malo sare motor kolu Keke.. av seen several customers speak to me, end up giving the job to someone who offer cheap service or charge less with lesser materials, some clients don't care about the materials written, what they want is something cheap, now the work done no serve well, brother installer no pick call, she come dey call me to come and help her, DONT CALL ME FOR THAT KIND THING, I go swear for u ni...
If am not good enough to handle ur solar project, pls don't call me to come and check fault when u av given the job to someone else .except na the first time, or u just knew me and u don get Solar already. u want me to help u check problem,I will gladly come but for those ALARORO, I no dey . AM NOT THAT AVAILABLE ANYWAY.
12) for those sturbon client wey no dey hear installer instructions, they will argue and want to do their own thing their own way .. NA UR WAHALA oo.. follow customers instructions on energy maintainance.
13). Lastly dear Client, pls let installers get materials for u, getting materials for urself is risky, no installer will be held responsible for any fault or problem Becos u got the materials yourself.. most installers av the way they' get their materials that gives them result . Personally for me oo, if u get materials yourself and I don't know the source of ur materials, I no go install for u, I AV REJECTED SEVERAL ANYWAY and I will continue to based on the terrible experience I have had. Becos u will never agree if ur material no dey ok, u will always insist the installation is wrong.. getting materials when u av zero knowledge of solar installation is risky. .
