Most of "us" would have done our homework before. But I would bet most of us would have done the I install ourselves, not have a specialized solar shop do it. Those, like this guy, that have a hi $ solar shop do it, don't want to do any homework, don't want to be bothered about any of it, they just want it to WORK,...plug and play, and drive away. And they expect the job to be done correctly,
The problem is that one would expect to get a perfect job from a specialized place,....that's the reason for the hi $s right ?
I would think they would ask the customer only about 2 questions,...how many watts, and where do they want the controller display. He should not have to tell them to "screw to" the rubber roof, or to mount the controller as close to the battery as possible.
I told this guy quite a bit about these places, but he used more logical thinking than listening to me. He knows this stuff can be over priced here, but he expected to get a job correctly done, and I think he had a perfect right to expect that. And to go back and tell them it wasn't done right, should be backed up by proof, or seems it wouldn't go over well.
But don't take this wrong, this guy got what he got, and is not complaining, probably because from his little knowledge of it all, it appears to be working as good as he would think it should work.
He saw 14 amps on the ammeter once, but only 13,2 v. Remains to be seen if he'll ever see 14 volts.
