Absolute mess, someone could easily mistake some of this cable for the satellite cable and cut into it, especially if they cant follow the cables! I would get this tidy'd up, and cant believe they didn't slide the cable up the felt its 6 inchs lower than the hole they made!!Just went into the loft to put back all of the insulation that the guys rolloed into a pile and forgot!!! to put back.
There appears to be enough 'spare' DC cable to do another install! Whish is probably the reason they had to go early the 1st day as the ran out of DC.
I have taken a couple of pics, not sure how much you can see. I was under the impression from other posts that the DC (if not all cabling) should be kept to a minimum (if not just for cost presumably).
Is this another item to add to my 'fix it please' list? I dont like the untidy look of it and the fact that I could probably trip over it when pottering about up there.

I assume that the panel connections should not be poking out like this. Do you usually just cable tie them to the rails?

Whether right or wrong a lot of companies sub contract installs under their name, so give them chance to at least respond to your concerns, before taking any knee jerk reaction!
Have they earthed the array? - There should be an earth cable coimg from the rails to either an earth spike or the main earth depending upon your incoming supply type. (PME etc)

Looks like either a schuco or a grey import 4000TL, it probably also hasn't been properly configured for the UK, so that will aslo need doing / checking, and if it's been generating for > 10 hours will need a bluetooth link and a GridGuard code to do it.
