Free installation on the new T7

[Roger Donoghue]

Hi all, when you start getting the new T7 Cali I'm going to need to see one to work out the new cable routing etc. To that end, the 1st person to bring one to me for a solar install will get the installation free, and the kit discounted. All I ask of you in return is you go into town on the bus for the day so I can take my time having a good careful poke around! I may be a lot quicker but I just dont' know how much will have changed bearing on mind it's a new chassis etc.

It would also be preferable if you were not coming a long way as you nmever know, I might run into a technical wall and not be able to do it (rather unlikely!)

Hi Roger, might take you up on this.
2 minds are better than one!
Also, the batterie/s might be LiPo
Will be interesting to see what the MPPT charging profile will be configured as.

I’ve bought a MV to tide me over.
So far so good.
Drives like a car and is surprisingly quick.

I can only imagine the California in this and it’s going to be really good.
Fingers crossed.

You had anybody take you up on the offer yet Roger ?
I will have a t7 Cali Ocean arriving (hopefully) early July.
Would be better to have, two heads are better than one, when installing.

Nope! - still waiting, I've got about 6 or 7 T7 enquiries awaiting my kit development.

Give me a shout when you are ready Bill.

I've seen my copy cat company in Germany has made a T7 kit, so I now know it'll work for sure. Just need to get a van in my hands. Looks like the changes are not significant.

 

[Roger Donoghue]

Update - we now have our 1st T7 kit installed and am ready to make more. I need to make some professional instructions (I can give you enough to go on now, for DIY) - so the offer still stands, well, its improved.

Be the 1st person to come to me for the install , J26, M5, and the installation charge will be waived (normally £80) AND I'll give you a £100 discount on your kit.

That sounds like an awesome offer Roger.
Hoping to get mine mid July now.
I’ll email you with some details !

Hi everyone, my new T7 Ocean arrived a month ago, and I purchased a 250W panel that I want to install. The panel is this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CWRQG3DB?tag=unique09f-21

My question is, what is the maximum weight I can apply to the hydraulic roof? The panel weighs 13.9 kg.

I'm from Romania and I'm using Google Translate.

That panel has terrible reviews.
Weight in roof is around 100kg I think.
Read the manual.

6.1 is 50kg. One imagines the 7 is the same but your manual will say exactly.

Update - the offer has been taken up and I'm installing a kit with the dual charger - a question for T7 owners. Am I correct in saying the starter battery is under the front left seat, in the floor? I'll find it, but nice to have a headstart!

It is under the passenger footwell in the Hybrid and there are connections for charging it in the engine bay same side.
