Friendly, well priced and professional solar and battery install
I upgraded from a very small system to 15.4kw Aiko panels and a 32kw Sigenergy battery system. The salesman, Dave, was knowledgeable and straight-forward. Their quote was very competitive with the other 5 installers that I approached but I got the best customer service during the sales process from TMEC Services. The installation of the solar was timely and started working right away to save/earn me money with the solar plan I was on. Even in winter I'm getting strong generation from the Aiko panels. The staff were professional and friendly. The solar panel installation is professional and looks sturdy and well laid out. The batteries came about a month later due to the scarcity of Sigenergy batteries caused by the federal rebate and they were integrated quickly at which point I was then no longer paying for electricity at night as well. When there was an app configuration issue with the battery the owner Tommy mucked in and solved that right away.
Solar Panel - AIKO
High generation for the panel size and footprint. They can still generate enough electricity to cover ~1kwh idle house load and sometimes more, even on cloudy days.
Solar Inverter - Sigenergy
The features provided by the battery stack are really good. You can manually curtail energy production from the panels to avoid negative FIT when you need to. You can also manually buy/sell energy from the grid when you want to and I have done this a number of times. The amount of information provided by the app is very good, but I haven't been able to get the AI mode enabled. It only seems to work if you have a time of use energy plan with multiple rates during the day as it wouldn't engage without there being a difference in the energy prices paid. In that regard the documentation isn't clear enough and its disappointing having heard so much about the AI features that will use weather information from the internet to plan on when to feed power to the grid and when to store it in preparation for a storm.
Battery - Sigenergy
I have 4 x 8 battery modules with the Sigenergy inverter on top and the battery stack looks great installed. The panel is easy to understand and, even though the side lighting features are entirely unnecessary, I still have them enabled as they look good in the garage. Unfortunately, it's obvious that they designed the lighting choreography for a full 5 (or 6?) module battery stack because one lighting plan seems to expect there to be another module below the inverter in my stack and it leaves a pause for it before it lights the inverter in the sequence upward. However, the lighting is just fluff and it's the quality of the batteries, the interchangeable modules, the compact footprint and the solid looking design that make the Sigenergy stack really good.
TMEC Battery
Sales was great - very informative & not pushy. Purchase process was good - no issues. Installation happened as planned with very nice staff - quite helpful and informative.
Battery -
Good so far. The app is a bit ordinary but functional.
