    Solar systems and support

    I have been testing the waters with regards to technical support in an attempt to find a supplier who has a little more technical knowledge than the general solar/inverter/battery check list.

    The only company I have dealt with that has responded within 48 hours or has a technical support who seems to be on the ball is Art solar.

    I called this company to test them like I have done with many other suppliers and manufacturers.

    I called and let the phone ring until it went off, I put down the phone and thought the same ol same ol. To my surprise not even a minute later my phone rang, I answered and it was a lady from Art solar, I requested to speak to a technical person with regards to a 5kva inverter installation, she indicated that she could assist. Every questions I asked was answered.

    I give the women at Art solar the customer satisfaction award for the best technical support for 2022 so far.

    The guys at Victron were also pretty sharp and the person I spoke to also had a solid background on their product.

    I would like to hear any good feedback about companies you have dealt with. Lets try stick to good feedback.
    Comments are my opinion, unless regulations are attached to support the comment. This is social media, not a court room.

    That is great to hear !

    Funny I was thinking last night how much I am struggling to chat to an actual person on questions.

    Need to quote for a factory and need more info on the roof mounting system and thinking where do I even go !

    With that I order from Segen. My tech guy not so clued up and never answers but when I message the chat I get a call back the next day. He is able to though get to the better tech guys when needed so I go with a 5 of 10 on technical.

    How ever everything else I give them a 9. Just wish I could go in and sometime chat to a consultant but I have not tried in awhile so maybe I can now.

    With Solar I see people keep there secrets and don't want to share knowledge...

    I still struggle with the Sunsync time setting of things and struggle to get a solid How To haha

      Makes me think of Taylor and McDonalds ice cream machines. The less the user knows, the more money in my pocket syndrome.

        100% ! The less installers means more for me...

        If possible anyone know what the best mounting system i.e brackets to use on this form of roofing of a factory ?

        I assume made of metal but too high for me to confirm.

        I assume we use some form of tek screw or roofing screw with the rubber to mount a bracket on a metal beam but I am not sure. Click image for larger version

          Try a company called Valsa
          I usually get my mounting system from them. They have for all types of roofs
