Beautiful day for another solar install ☀️

Sungrow 10kw Hybrid inverter with 30 x 440w panels installed today ☀️

Turns out, Ben and I have crossed paths already in our previous jobs! Small world 🌎

Thanks again Ben for trusting us with your solar install 🤝🏽

Cleaning and pigeon proofing in progress 🚫🐦

Thanks goes out to Jack for trusting us with his solar installation. With a large pool, electrical hot water and a family, it was a no brainer to go solar 🤯

I grew up playing football with Jack here in Rocky. It's great to see locals supporting small local businesses. Enjoy your savings mate 🤝🏽

Keep an eye out for Lynton’s freshly signed ute 👀✨

Scott and James at Hilcher Signs look after us yet again. Can’t recommend them enough for all your signage needs.

Take a trip back in time and enjoy this photo of a solar system installed in the 1980’s! ☀️

As my good friend Jordan found out today, loose/poor connections can result in a great deal of heat. This was a fire hazard waiting to happen 🔥

Luckily the safety switch operated and cut power to the appliance (hot water unit in this case). If you have a safety switch tripping, don’t ignore it. Call a licensed electrician 📲

Are you on the 44c solar feed in rate? 💰

Did you know, you can have your system upgraded and retain your 44c as long as the new system does not exceed the old one by more than 10%? ☀️

See below for a recent upgrade we did for a long time customer.

Q: Why are inspections important?
A: So compliance issues like this can be rectified.

This particular system consisted of micro inverters for each panel, meaning 240v AC is present within this isolator. Can’t imagine its IP rating is being preserved here! 💦

🚨 Important Announcement 🚨

🔆 Beware of the dangers of a damaged solar Isolation box🔆

Hey, everyone! Today, we want to raise awareness about a crucial component of your solar system that often goes unnoticed: the solar isolation box.

🔎 What is a solar isolation box?
The solar isolation box, is a vital part of your solar panel setup. It serves as a junction box where the output cables from multiple solar panels are combined before connecting to the inverter. Its purpose is to safely isolate the solar panel strings and provide protection against electrical faults.

⚠️ The risks of a damaged solar isolation box:
Unfortunately, a damaged or malfunctioning solar isolation box can pose serious risks to your safety, property, and even the overall performance of your solar system. Here are some dangers associated with a faulty isolation box:

1️⃣ Electrical hazards: A damaged isolation box can lead to electrical faults, such as short circuits or ground faults. This can result in overheating, fires, or electric shocks, putting you and your loved ones at risk.

2️⃣ Reduced efficiency: If the isolation box fails to properly combine the output from your solar panels, it can impact the efficiency and performance of your entire system. This means you might not be maximizing the clean energy potential you've invested in.

3️⃣ System downtime: In some cases, a damaged isolation box may cause your solar system to shut down completely. This can result in periods of zero energy generation, disrupting your power supply and potentially lowering your savings.

✅ Regular maintenance and inspections:
To mitigate these risks, it's crucial to prioritise regular maintenance and inspections of your solar installation, including the isolation box. Here are a few proactive steps you can take:

🔧 Schedule professional inspections: Engage Solar Shine Australia to inspect your system every 12 months. They can identify any signs of damage, wear, or malfunction.

🔌 Avoid DIY repairs: If you suspect an issue with your isolation box, don't attempt to fix it yourself unless you have the necessary expertise. Always rely on trained professionals to handle any repairs or replacements.

📅 Stay updated with maintenance schedules: With a Solar Shine Australia's clean and inspection you will receive a long-term solar care plan specific to your system and surrounds.

🚨 Report any issues promptly: If you notice unusual behavior, such as sparks, unusual smells, or any visible damage around the isolation box, immediately contact your solar provider or a qualified electrician to address the problem.

Let's prioritise safety and ensure the longevity of our solar systems. Together, we can enjoy the benefits of clean energy while keeping our homes and loved ones safe.

Feel free to share this information with your friends and family to spread awareness. If you have any questions or experiences to share, please do so in the comments below. Let's keep the conversation going! 💚🌞
