Buyer: "Your cost is too high! XYZ company is offering 20% cheaper!"

Me: "Sir, they're providing 440W panels. We're offering 545W Tier-1."

Buyer: "Panel is panel! Just match their price."

Me: "But sir..."

Buyer: "Final offer. Take it or leave it."

6 months later

Buyer: "Hello? I have been trying to reach someone in your company to help me"

XYZ: "Please contact between 10 AM to 10:30 AM on alternate Tuesdays."

Buyer: "But my system is down!"

XYZ: "The fault is in the inverter, the inverter company needs to respond."

Buyer: "But no one from the inverter company visited"

XYZ: "They say it's the installer's fault, but the fault is in the inverter"

Buyer: "But now what?"

XYZ: "Buy a new inverter, the price is Rs 280,000/-*"

Buyer: "WHAT? But what about warranty?!"

XYZ: "Sir, please refer to page 394, subsection 7.2(b) of warranty terms**"

Truth Bombs 💥:

  • When your inverter company and installer play ping pong with responsibility, you're the table 🏓

  • Warranty documents thicker than your family photo album? Red flag! 🚩

  • That budget inverter is like a budget parachute - you'll only regret it once 🪂

  • The only thing more missing than after-sales support? The money you "saved" 💸

Remember: In solar, you're not just buying hardware, you're buying a relationship. Make sure it's not a toxic one!

Terms & conditions apply ** Warranty valid only when Mercury is in retrograde and during lunar eclipses 🌘

P.S. The only thing cheaper than those panels? The chances of getting after-sales support! 😅
