Solar Thermal installed - does this look right?

[Husk24]

Hi guy

I had solar thermal installed and wanted an expert opinion, had it installed today and its not working and the installer is to return. I get the impression when it comes to the electrical side the installer hasn’t the foggiest, he replaced the water valve and now my boiler does not heat up , the valve doesn’t turn on, he cut the cable off the old valve and joined the cables and put tape over it. Secondary the solar thermostat/control doesn’t work, so apparently both are faulty, well from what I have seen I don’t think its the equipment. The other cables he has joined as per the pic but no junction box, surely this is not safe. one of pics shows the solar thermostat going’s into the cylinder, should there be a cover? And after all that the installer asked me to double check the joined cable because he is colour blind! Any opinions appreciated. Pics attached. Thanks

Ah right, there was a tundish in the packaging but it appears he decided not to install it and keep the old one as it is.

I would get him to move the existing to comply and install the new one on the other

I can’t wait to call the company tomorrow! I had a electric car charger installed 6 months ago and again I was unlucky to have someone who didn’t have much experience installing chargers and had 4 visits in 2 weeks, replaced it 3 times , messed about, took alot of my time , until they sent a more experienced who fitted it properly straight away, I really can’t be bothered with going through something similar, the guy is nice and pleasant but I want this installed properly and without any issues
