I've noticed some manufacturers are replacing inverters themselves rather than sending the inverter to the installer. I wonder whether this could void the warranty for some firms?
I am told by a local authority their tender is generic and performance based. However, here is the panel spec:
"The solar PV panels will have a performance guarantee for at least 25 years which will be backed by a global reputable organisation
All PV panels to have a minimum of a 25 year...
I suspect my Megger 1710 tester is faulty
So I cut exactly 1 meter of 2.5 -1.5
I have nulled the probes as per the instructions.
Continuity test.
End to end
L = 0.11 Ohms
N = 0.11 "
CPC - 0.11 "
Question is this test valid.
Why is the CPC not 1.67 times 0.18 Ohms
What could I do to...
I've been installing the ansell orbio 360 recently as my choice of LED spot, I then register them online for the 7 year warranty. Can anybody tell me the process if they fail please? I can't recall getting any guarantee numbers once I've been fostered them that's all. Thankfully none have failed...
Not sure if your aware, JCC have changed the terms & conditions for their warranty. For example the FGLED series is now 2 years extending to 10 years (domestic if installed by qualified electricians). And only if the products are from their approved list of suppliers, no ebay ones!
Hi, just got a bit of a shock this morning, turns out my Megger has failed calibration and needs to go back to Megger for a "fixed price" repair charge of £426.24 (inc VAT) and that's before it gets re calibrated!!
I had a feeling that it might still be in warranty but after checking found out...
I was phoned on 5 Jun say a Power One PVI 3.6 OUTD inverter on one of my domestic installations appeared not to be working properly. I attended on 8 Jun, diagnosed one side of the inverter was not working and initiated a warranty claim through ABB, my first. All appears to be progressing with...
I've been looking at this mounting system for some new build blocks of flats I'm doing. 120 panels in total over four blocks/roofs with single ply membrane roofs.
just wondering if any one has used it and if they have what's your thoughts on it?
Cheers lee.
Why do many sparkies fit integrated LED downlights such as the JCC FGLED range?
I wouldn't fit combined units at all, at least not in a domestic situation. You're saddling the client with an expensive reinstallation bill if in the future he wants, for example, warm white instead of cool white...
Hi
I fitted a Vent-Axia extractor fan a little while ago (about a couple of months if my memory serves me correctly). Now my customer informs me it has stopped working. It will of course be under warranty, but do I have any rights when it comes to getting Vent-Axia to pay for my time/call...
Hi all
After a bit of help if anyone is in this area. Installed a system back in Feb 2012 based around a Fronius IG TL 3.6 which has just gone belly up. My PV company was wound up a while back and I now do other things as a sole trader. Nevertheless, I contacted Fronius who would be happy to...
I started getting products from ledhut last November. One of their selling points is their 5 year warranty on all products which they advertise heavily on their website.
I discovered however that their standard warranty is only 2 years and the 5 year is only available upon application. The...

Greetings,
I have a 12v 36ah battery which is supposed to be a 36 hole golf trolley battery. The charger is specifically designed for Powakaddy (or Hillbilly) carts. The battery only pulls for 16 holes so I complained to the supplier who said, "sorry, it's out of warrantee". Which it is; by four...
There seems to be more and more crap coming on to the market from china based companies giving long warranties for absolute peanuts, which is great on paper.
The question i would like to ask fellow electricians, what do you think is the best string inverter set up?
For me I do like the TL...
