Solar panel water ingress
Good morning, I just drew it out since its easier to see this way. Funny enough if he planned correctly according to OEM specifications, the quote would have saved 8 IBR short brackets. So the quote(48 brackets) even implies he planned for the wrong installation. Kind Regards

He quoted twice, rails and IBR truncated brackets, no where did he communicate the problem(non OEM compliance) with the cheaper solution. We asked for a cheaper quote which he provided.

Just an update, LONGI rejected the installers warranty claim.(no surprise) Installer is shifting the blame to us, saying we wanted cost saving brackets. I have filed a consumer goods complaint against the installer at CGSO online, with all the evidence and correspondence. Anywhere else I can report?

Hi there so if we look at the following illustrations then the next page That would mean the only correct installation method for these panels, is the long frame as per 1st image mid left. All other options are not supported. This is going to be a fun conversation... Thanks for everyone's inputs so far ! Nou moet ek gaan baklei met n bra :/ Eish

Hi, I think it might just be easier to make the new rails higher on one side than lift the IBR roof as a whole.

I have used only water, and squeegee before. I do not plan on using vinegar or any detergent tbh. Regarding the angle of the panels, yes it is low, my house has an asbestos roof, so cannot place it elsewhere. WhatsApp Video 2026-01-25 at 10.38.10 (1).mp4 the water draining clips work fine for this purpose, the installer needs to return and fix the brackets and spacings firstly, which would allow proper installation of the draining clips. Whether it needs replacement is why I started this thread, and ask for insights on the water ingress, which is already below the glass surface. ISO alcohol was used since it is a good solvent that evaporates quickly enough and normally cuts through most stains on a glass surface. The curved nature of the ingress spots is due to the bend in the middle of the panel from lack of support, and the water not being able to drain properly due to my roofs low angle. Question 1: will it catch fire? due to short circuit etc? Question 2: If the railings where fixed adding support and the draining clips attached, would this still be a problem that requires attention? Question 3: Shall I pursue replacement of my 16 panels since they all have these marks considering installer error caused it? I'd appreciate help with these questions, the installer is coming over in the week so I'd appreciate feedback or concerns that I can relay to him. Kind Regards

Right... 2.9° not 23°.

They are at a 23° angle and not flat. Agreed the manufacturer states it needs to be properly supported, which these are not. I am not the installer, I need to get him to fix his work, so that's why I ask here. I'm also trying to determine what option to take, the system is insured, so if the installer was at fault the insurance company can pursue them. regards

Hi all, I recently cleaned my panels with water and a squeegee. I noticed that these marks do no go away, and is causing heavy dirt build up due to lack of centre supports on the panels. Here is a side picture showing the lack of support in the centre of the panels I cleaned the panels in the end of November, had to clean them again yesterday since the accumulation in those spots is very hectic and seems to put the panels in bypass mode for those rows of cells. here is a video https://photos.app.goo.gl/QxJgjDmDBUVqC7Dd7 Here is some data for the difference observed, both days 26°C outside as per weather station. Y-PVT = yesterday 23% difference when cleaned. My question ultimately is what now? Request new panels and proper mounting? or request just proper mounting? they are 575W Longi HiMO 6 - LR5-72HTH575M panels installed May 2024. I am however printing water draining clips galore in PETG. Regards
