I don't know what you saw, but it could have been a "homeowner's special", or some kind of proof-of-concept? Professionals are certainly capable of hackjobs, but I have a hard time thinking that a client would be satisfied enough to pay for what you describe. You don't have to be an electrician to know that some stuff just looks dangerous and poorly done!
- mindslight 2y agoNo. It was a Faceboot page of a decently popular solar installation company showing off their completed works. There could have been some anti-abrasion thing I couldn't see in the picture, but the lack of fusing was still concerning. (And FWIW I did check the battery datasheets to make sure there weren't internal fuses). I suppose those particular installations might have gotten a pass on inspections due to "off grid", but still.
