🚨 SOLAR BUYER AWARENESS CAMPAIGN 🚨
⚠️ TOPIC 12 — BATTERY WARRANTIES: WHAT THEY DON'T TELL YOU ⚠️

Many homeowners see:

🔋 10-Year Warranty
🔋 6000 Cycles
🔋 15-Year Design Life
..and assume their battery is covered no matter what.

Unfortunately, many battery warranties come with conditions that most buyers never hear about until they need to submit a claim.

⚠️ WHAT MANY BUYERS DON'T KNOW

Some battery warranties require:

✅ Correct installation procedures
✅ Approved inverter compatibility
✅ Proper battery settings
✅ Minimum state-of-charge settings
✅ Monitoring and maintenance records

If these requirements are not met, a warranty claim may be rejected.

🚩 COMMON REASONS WARRANTY CLAIMS ARE REJECTED

❌ Incorrect installation
❌ Unsupported inverter brands
❌ Water damage
❌ Physical damage
❌ Unauthorized modifications
❌ Incorrect charging parameters
❌ Serial numbers removed or damaged
❌ Failure to follow manufacturer requirements

Before buying a battery, ASK QUESTIONS:

✅ Who handles warranty claims?
✅ What voids the warranty?
✅ Is the inverter approved by the manufacturer?
✅ Are the settings configured correctly?
✅ What documentation is required for future claims?

⚠️ WHY THIS MATTERS

A warranty is only as good as your ability to claim it.

Many homeowners only discover the terms and conditions after a battery fails.

Understanding the warranty BEFORE purchasing can save you thousands of rands later.

Remember:

💡 Don't just ask how long the warranty is. Ask how it works.

Protect your investment.
Protect your home.
Buy Smart. Buy Safe.

🚨 SOLAR BUYER AWARENESS CAMPAIGN 🚨
⚠️ TOPIC 11 — FAKE OR MISLEADING “LOADSHEDDING READY” CLAIMS ⚠️

Many homeowners see the words “LOADSHEDDING READY” and assume:
⚡ The whole house will stay on
⚡ All appliances will work
⚡ Batteries will last all night

…but after installation they discover:
❌ Only certain plugs work
❌ High-power appliances overload the system
❌ Backup time is shorter than expected
❌ Batteries drain too quickly

⚠️ A system being “loadshedding ready” does NOT automatically mean:
• Whole-house backup
• Unlimited power
• Full-day runtime
• Support for every appliance

🚩 Some installers advertise:
• “Runs everything!”
• “No more loadshedding forever!”
• “Full backup!”

…without properly explaining the system limitations.

Before buying solar, ASK QUESTIONS:

✅ What appliances will actually stay on?
✅ How long will backup realistically last?
✅ What are the inverter limits?
✅ Was a proper load assessment done?
✅ Is the battery capacity sufficient?

Loadshedding ready does not mean unlimited power.

🚨 SOLAR BUYER AWARENESS CAMPAIGN 🚨
⚠️ TOPIC 10 — OVERLOADED SYSTEMS & INCORRECT USAGE ⚠️

Not every solar system can run every appliance at the same time.

One of the biggest causes of solar problems is system overloading and incorrect usage.

⚠️ Overloading happens when:
• Too many appliances run at once
• High-power appliances overload the inverter
• The system was undersized
• Customers were never educated properly

Common appliances that overload systems:
❌ Kettles
❌ Stoves
❌ Geysers
❌ Heaters
❌ Air fryers
❌ Air conditioners

⚠️ Repeated overloading can lead to:
• Inverter faults
• Battery strain
• System shutdowns
• Constant tripping
• Reduced battery lifespan
• Expensive equipment damage

🚩 RED FLAGS TO WATCH FOR:
• “This small system can run everything”
• No explanation of system limits
• No usage guidance after installation
• No load calculations
• No monitoring setup

Before installing solar, ASK QUESTIONS:

✅ What appliances can the system safely run?
✅ What should not run simultaneously?
✅ What are the inverter limits?
✅ Will I receive proper usage guidance?
✅ Is monitoring available?

Understanding your system is part of protecting your investment.

Protect your home.
Buy Smart. Buy Safe.

🚨 SOLAR BUYER AWARENESS CAMPAIGN 🚨
⚠️ TOPIC 9 — NO AFTER-SALES SUPPORT ⚠️

Many homeowners only discover the importance of after-sales support when something goes wrong.

Some customers are left with:
❌ Inverter faults
❌ Batteries not charging properly
❌ WiFi monitoring problems
❌ Incorrect system settings
❌ Poor backup performance
❌ Warranty claims ignored

…and worst of all:
🚫 the installer no longer answers calls.

A solar system is not a “fit and forget” product.

Like any electrical system, it may eventually require:
⚠️ troubleshooting
⚠️ software updates
⚠️ inverter configuration
⚠️ battery adjustments
⚠️ monitoring support
⚠️ maintenance assistance

🚩 RED FLAGS TO WATCH FOR:
• No support process
• No office or support staff
• Slow communication before installation already
• No warranty support explanation
• No monitoring assistance

Before installing solar, ASK QUESTIONS:

✅ What support is available after installation?
✅ Who handles faults and troubleshooting?
✅ Is remote monitoring assistance available?
✅ Who handles warranty claims?
✅ Is there a dedicated support contact?

The installation is only the beginning.

🚨 SOLAR BUYER AWARENESS CAMPAIGN 🚨
⚠️ TOPIC 8 — FAKE OR LOW-QUALITY SOLAR PANELS ⚠️

Many homeowners focus only on the inverter and battery… while forgetting that solar panels are the foundation of the entire system.

Some panels may LOOK professional… but internally use:
❌ Poor-quality cells
❌ Fake wattage ratings
❌ Weak materials
❌ Low-grade connectors
❌ Poor waterproofing

⚠️ Low-quality panels can:
• Produce less power than advertised
• Degrade much faster
• Perform poorly in cloudy weather
• Crack easily
• Fail early

🚩 Some installers cut costs by:
• Using low-grade panels
• Mixing different panel brands
• Using counterfeit products
• Installing too few panels

The customer only notices later when:
⚠️ Batteries charge slowly
⚠️ Backup time becomes poor
⚠️ Electricity savings are lower than expected

Before buying solar panels, ASK QUESTIONS:

✅ What brand are the panels?
✅ Are the panels genuine and verifiable?
✅ Is there a manufacturer warranty?
✅ Are the panels suitable for my system?
✅ How many panels are actually needed?

A solar system is only as strong as the panels feeding it.

Protect your investment.

🚨 SOLAR BUYER AWARENESS CAMPAIGN 🚨

⚠️ TOPIC 7 — NO COC (CERTIFICATE OF COMPLIANCE) ⚠️

Many homeowners are paying thousands for solar systems without ever receiving a valid COC.

This is a major warning sign.

A COC (Certificate of Compliance) confirms that the installation complies with South African electrical safety standards.

Without a valid COC:
❌ The installation may not be compliant
❌ Electrical risks may exist
❌ Insurance claims can become complicated
❌ Faults may go unnoticed
❌ Unsafe wiring may remain hidden

🚩 COMMON PROBLEMS FOUND IN NON-COMPLIANT INSTALLATIONS:
• Incorrect breaker sizing
• Missing surge protection
• Poor earthing
• Unsafe wiring
• Incorrect inverter connections
• Mixed AC and DC cabling

🚩 RED FLAGS TO WATCH FOR:
• Installer says a COC is “not necessary”
• No paperwork after installation
• Extremely rushed installations
• No testing done on site
• No qualified electrician involved

Before installing solar, ASK QUESTIONS:

✅ Is a COC included?
✅ Who issues the COC?
✅ Will the system be properly tested?
✅ Is the installation fully compliant?

A safe installation is a compliant installation.

Protect your home.
Protect your family.

🚨 SOLAR BUYER AWARENESS CAMPAIGN 🚨
⚠️ TOPIC 6 — CHEAP PRICES THAT BECOME EXPENSIVE MISTAKES ⚠️

One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make is choosing solar based only on the cheapest price.

Many cheap solar deals cut corners somewhere:
❌ Poor-quality products
❌ Unsafe installations
❌ Fake warranties
❌ No after-sales support
❌ Undersized systems
❌ Missing protection equipment

At first the system may appear to work… but problems often start appearing later.

⚠️ Customers later experience:
• Batteries failing early
• Inverters tripping constantly
• Poor backup performance
• Expensive repairs
• System shutdowns
• No support from the installer

🚩 Some installers reduce pricing by:
• Using low-quality products
• Skipping important safety equipment
• Using undersized cables
• Not issuing a COC
• Using inexperienced labour

Before choosing a quote, compare MORE than just the price:

✅ Product quality
✅ Warranty support
✅ Installer experience
✅ Safety standards
✅ After-sales support
✅ Workmanship quality

Cheap solar can become expensive very quickly.

Protect your investment.

🚨 SOLAR BUYER AWARENESS CAMPAIGN 🚨

⚠️ TOPIC 5 — FAKE OR MISLEADING SYSTEM SIZES ⚠️

One of the biggest ways homeowners are being misled in the solar industry is through incorrect or exaggerated solar system sizing.

Many customers are promised:
⚡ “Runs the whole house”
⚡ “No more loadshedding problems”
⚡ “Full backup system”

…but after installation they discover:
❌ Batteries drain too quickly
❌ Appliances trip the inverter
❌ The system cannot handle the load
❌ Runtime is far less than promised
❌ Solar production is insufficient

🚩 HOW THIS HAPPENS:

Some installers intentionally oversell system capabilities to close deals quickly.

Others:
• Do not perform proper load calculations
• Ignore customer usage patterns
• Use undersized batteries
• Install too few solar panels
• Install incorrect inverter sizes

The result:
Customers expect one thing… but receive something completely different.

⚠️ COMMON MISLEADING CLAIMS:

❌ “This small system can run everything.”
❌ “You don’t need more panels.”
❌ “One battery is enough for the whole house.”
❌ “This inverter can carry any load.”
❌ “You can add anything later.”

In reality, every solar system must be designed according to:
✅ Power consumption
✅ Appliance loads
✅ Backup expectations
✅ Daytime usage
✅ Nighttime usage
✅ Future expansion

Before buying solar, ASK QUESTIONS:

✅ Was a proper load assessment done?
✅ What appliances can the system actually run?
✅ How long will the batteries realistically last?
✅ What happens during cloudy weather?
✅ Is future expansion possible?
✅ Is the system correctly sized for my needs?

🚩 RED FLAGS TO WATCH FOR:

• Unrealistic promises
• “Whole house” claims without assessments
• No load calculations
• Very cheap packages claiming huge capacity
• Installers avoiding technical explanations
• No written system performance expectations

A solar system is not just about installing equipment.

It must be:
✔️ Properly designed
✔️ Correctly sized
✔️ Professionally configured

Otherwise homeowners end up:
⚠️ Disappointed
⚠️ Frustrated
⚠️ Overspending later on upgrades

The right-sized system saves money.
The wrong-sized system creates problems.

🚨 SOLAR BUYER AWARENESS CAMPAIGN 🚨

⚠️ TOPIC 3 — UNSAFE SOLAR INSTALLATIONS ⚠️

One of the biggest dangers in the solar industry is poor and unsafe workmanship.

Many homeowners focus only on:
🔋 The inverter
🔋 The battery
💰 The price

…but forget that the INSTALLATION itself is what determines:
⚠️ Safety
⚠️ Reliability
⚠️ Compliance
⚠️ System lifespan

A good-quality system installed badly can still become dangerous.

🚫 COMMON PROBLEMS FOUND IN BAD INSTALLATIONS:

❌ No surge protection
❌ No proper isolators
❌ No COC issued
❌ AC and DC cables mixed together
❌ Exposed wiring
❌ Incorrect breaker sizes
❌ Poor battery ventilation
❌ Inverters powered through wall plugs
❌ Undersized cabling
❌ Untidy DB boards

Some systems may appear to work normally… while serious electrical risks exist behind the scenes.

⚠️ WHAT CAN HAPPEN?

• Inverter damage
• Battery failure
• Electrical shocks
• Constant tripping
• Fire hazards
• Expensive repairs
• Insurance claim problems

📄 WHAT IS A COC?

A COC (Certificate of Compliance) confirms that the installation complies with electrical safety standards.

If a solar installer does NOT provide a COC:
🚩 That is a major warning sign.

🚩 RED FLAGS TO WATCH FOR:

• Extremely rushed installations
• Very cheap labour pricing
• No paperwork
• No inspection or testing
• Messy wiring
• No labeling
• Installer refuses to explain the system
• No after-sales support

Before installing solar, ASK QUESTIONS:

✅ Is a COC included?
✅ What protection equipment is being installed?
✅ Are qualified installers doing the work?
✅ Will the system be tested properly?
✅ Is after-sales support available?

A solar system should not only work — it should be SAFE.

Unsafe installations can cost more than loadshedding ever did.

Protect your home.
Protect your family.
Buy Smart. Buy Safe.
