Renovation Updates (rather warranty) :-

I missed the initial instalattion of my Solar water heater system.
To those who has been following my thread, you will know that the first time I actually saw mt Solar Water Heating unit on top of my roof was when I climbed up there during a complain. (taken a picture of the fully assembled unit)

Its here
I'was complaining that the water in the morning was luke warm only, not hot. 
They changed the water storage tank once already and it still did not solve the problem. 
This time they changed the whole thing Tank + Panel 
I has an opportunity to have a closer look at all the components 

Water Storage Tank


Water Storage Tank (Heating Element location and the pipes.)


Heating Element unit


Solar Panels


Instalattion work (Going up, Dismantle the current unit, lug down the tank, lug down the panel, bring up the new tank, bring up the new panel, install the new unit)
This 3 picture summarized it all - hard work under the hot sun liao 


Looking at them I also feel tired 

The tank look like not that heavy. Make of plastic? He......

Time to change micro solar  :-)

The tank is rather light. My neighbor remove her 15 years old panel for service during renovation take 3 people to carry down. I saw them take it down because they use my ear balcony.

can you share cost for use solar power include all...

bro after changing...hows the hot water?

Much better, now no need take cool shower in the morning. 

Much better doesn't sound convincing.
I'm thinking to install the same brand but now... Not convince liow.... 

Try summer brand. Or look at micro solar.

Weikee ure using SolarPower too right ?How is it going so far?

Hope that there is an actual microsolar user in the forum to give an actual review. Most of us are limited by $$$$$$

The system has 3 main component.
The solar Heater Unit
The Water Pump
and finally the household piping to accommodate hot and cold piping.

Whole house piping including hacking the wall for piping, approx RM6k +++

almost 10K.. i like to do this.. but my husband said gonna hack wall for piping (our house is new) ..
he said wait till other renovation... haduyaii .. i said this gonna save montly bill.. still cannot win..

When do you think your ROI be if you invest 10k?

My friend is using microsolar. He is using 8-10person model but actual only have 3-4person in the house. So the solar heater look like a big spaceship with 2 antenna ontop of his roof.   2-3days raining continue, water still hot. I will ask again this few day how is the temperature early morning compare before day.

Feedback and price I did post before in solar heater site.

I saw some microsolar pictures on the net. Why they got antenna wan?

During full reno that include re piping, then it is not so bad but to add it in not during reno is pricey and troublesome (hacking and patching)
