PV Installation Competition

[SRE]

I'm laying down the gauntlet - today I heard about an installation not very far away from us that took 2.5 hours to install. Wow I said - that long?

Beat that!:willy_nilly:

dare I ask what size system?

I'm hoping it's about 2kWp on a bugalow.

Saying that, I have vague recollections of 4 of us installing a 4 kWp system in about 3.5 hours one evening that mad november, sometimes it all just comes together, with a team that's working like clockwork.

4kwp, slate roof, but it was a bungalow - no scaffolding fo course so that saved a bit of time! Cables flapping under the panels which just happened to be in the gutter - literally! I didn't ask any more other than price - 6k so it wasn't even that cheap, it getting dark when they did it, 2nd job of the day.

no way anyone can do 4KW on slate in 2.5hrs not even God himself could achieve that!

Well they did ....... and it was getting dark so it was a good job it was those magic panels that work at night. I'm thinking about offering them to our customers ;-)

oh yeah, I forgot, when we did the job I mentioned, we had our other spark there the next morning to commission the system in daylight.

That's cheating then - that must have been at least 12 hrs ;-)
