Comprehensive Solar System Repair and Maintenance in Triabunna

Client Background

A commercial client on the east coast in Triabunna reached out to Smarter Energy Solutions for assistance with their non-operational solar system. The client had over one hundred panels spread across two solar systems and was unsure why the system was not working.

Initial Inspection and Findings

Upon arrival, our team conducted a thorough inspection and cleaning of all solar panels. During this process, we discovered that one of the panels was smashed, likely due to an impact from a rock or cricket ball. This damaged panel was immediately removed and bypassed to restore partial functionality to the system.

Isolator Issues

Further inspection revealed that the isolators had not been properly maintained or installed. Several isolators had cracks, were filled with dust and insects, and some had even burnt to the point of disintegration, posing a severe fire hazard.

Immediate Actions Taken

• Panel Removal: The smashed panel was safely removed and bypassed to allow the rest of the system to function.
• Isolator Safety: The compromised isolators were made safe and scheduled for replacement due to the extreme danger posed by DC voltage in roof spaces.
• Inverter Replacement: After addressing the isolator issues, the system was still not operational due to a faulty inverter, which had suffered a spike from the failed isolator. The inverter was replaced, restoring full functionality to the solar systems.

Outcome

After our comprehensive inspection, cleaning, and repair services, both solar systems were restored to full operational status. This case highlights the importance of regular maintenance and professional inspection of solar systems to prevent dangerous faults and ensure optimal performance.
