Although you may have reached the end of your tether with rolling blackouts, beware of choosing a solar installer in a hurry.
High load shedding stages are back with dodgy solar installers and sellers of knock-off equipment waiting to cash in on for consumers who finally had enough and are ready to opt for solar. Now is the time to beware and do your due diligence on your solar journey.
“Also consider that the lifespan of your solar PV system is a good 20+ years which means it is not a short-term relationship with your provider. You must be sure that he will be around for the ongoing back-up, support, warranty management and servicing of your system and that there is a succession plan that comes with working with either a national group or franchise network.”
She says the consequences of a non-compliant installation is poor system performance, premature battery failures and in the worst cases, an outright safety and fire hazard and if the worst should happen, any insurance claim will be rejected due to non-compliance. Checklist of what to watch out for when going solar
Does your installer fully understand your expectations and are the capabilities of your proposed system aligned and capable of any required future expansion if needed?For many homeowners the upfront capital outlay of financing a solar PV system is not manageable, but be circumspect on the type of finance option you choose.
All councils require you to apply for authorisation of an embedded generation system, such as a rooftop solar PV that is connected to the grid. Make sure that you receive an electrical Certificate of Compliance for your installation from a qualified electrician. This will be a supplementary CoC for the solar installation only and you will need your valid initial COC for your home or business premises in place already.Membership of a professional industry body
