If you follow the respond in the thread, I dont think is their fault, sometimes is good to know two side of the stories.

So far in 24 years of installations of Microsolars in Malaysia, thousands of units installed, only two customers not happy. First customer in Taman Bukit Prima Cheras, house surrounded by trees with occasional monkeys, we installed 20140813 everything ok, vent pipes intact and upright, no leaks , water is hot, handed over to customer , pics emailed to customer showing vertical vent pipes on handing over day, no leaks etc.
One month later 20140908, Client emails pics showing one of the vent pipes is bent over at 45 deg, water pouring out, probably monkey damage but customer did not believe. Said we did not install properly, said vent pipe was bent over from installation day. We said how could it be that for one month no leaking, the water was hot, the pics on handing over at installation day showed the vent pipes vertical, and the customer had accepted the handing over? If the vent pipe had been bent over from installation day the water would have been pouring out for one month. He would have complained in the first week , not one month later. Now over the years experience before this incident, we have had many customers in UK Heights, Ampang, Bukit Antarabangsa, Kuang, etc next to the forests or next to trees, complaining of monkey damage . One customer in UK Heights 4 storey apartment even saw monkeys climbing up the rainwater downpipes to the roof and pulling down the Microsolar vent pipes to drink the water during the hot season, when the water burnt their lips they would beat the Microsolar tank in anger, pull the other pipes, etc etc, apparently they do not wnat to go down to the ground to drink water during the hot season, they prefer to stay up on the roofs )..We have so many pics of monkey damage and we had to tie up the vent pipes with barbed wire ..But customer did not like it that we charged him to repair the vent pipe.. we cannot repair damage by other parties , animals included , for free, our workers have to be paid a nominal sum....So because of one unbelieving customer we have so much misunderstanding on forums like lowyat, please see both sides of the story before jumping to conclusions.
The other customer at Taman Hijau, UK Heights, Ampang, 2015 complaint was he said we installed on wrong side of roof. What actually happened was that we had done a site inspection together a few months before and confirmed install facing front south east, the customers signed off on the drawing installation location facing front, South east. The house side extension facing north east was not built/not completed yet. The contractor was supposed to pull the hot and cold piping to that front side of the house, and the customer verified that this had been done before requesting installtion. But unknown to the customer, the contractor had pulled the piping there, it was far away on the new extension roof facing north east. So when we arrived on site 1000hrs we telephoned the customer who was not on site, that the piping was far away, despite his assurance that his contractor had pulled the piping to the location of Microsolar. The customer insisted that the piping was indeed pulled to the front of the house as was agreed, and when he arrived at 1230 hrs, he was still insisting that his contractor had pulled the pipes there. But then his contractor pulled him aside, and they had a discussion, then the customer changed his mind at 1300hrs therabout on installation day, saying it had been agreed to put the Microsolar on the side extension facing north east all along. We have his signature on the Microsolar location drawing facing south east front. This was totally against what had been signed by him and furthermore we said facing north east is not good for Malaysia as stated in our Order form.
And the fact that the new extension roof had not been constructed when we did our joint site visit with customer few months ago and when we agreed on the front roof installation, shows we could not have agreed to the new north east roof location cos we did not know how the north east roof would be constructed. Actually it seemed the contractor did not want to pull the piping to front roof cos of some payment dispute, but we somehow got caught into this dispute and the customer and contractor tried to get us to install the missing piping length which should have been installed by the contractor, for free. Fortunately we have the signed documents confirming Microsolar location. at front of house facing south east and pictures of the first site visit that show the north east roof had not yet been constructed . And yet another example of one sided reporting on Low Yat Forum.. That is why we have extensive documentation covering all aspects of the Microsolar installation.
