"As a landlord, I will never allowed this. If you can't use generator, then move out."
ChiefDoc said:
"It’s a nonsense idea to install solar panels without the approval of the house owner. It’s normal to seek his permission before trying it."
john Bosco said:
"They don't allow that because of leakage,so installers don't know how to install the panel without damaging the roof which can result to serious leakage."
Israel olutomi said:
"Many installers don't know how to install without damaging the roof. I am a construction engineer and we build to sell. An installer damaged the roof to a house we just recently deliveree, so much that it was leaking in more than 15 places and it damaged the POP ceiling."
Solar installer damages man's roof
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a Nigerian installer (@solidelectricalcompany) shared how his apprentice damaged a person's roof while installing some monofacial solar panels.
Instead of stepping on the logging propping the roofing slate, he mistakenly walked in the middle of a slate. A part of the roofing board gave in, and he fell immediately into the apartment's toilet.
