As temperatures rise, so does the demand on your rooftop solar. And with 30% of Victorian homes now generating their own solar power, it’s never been more important to ensure your system is safe, reliable and professionally maintained.

Over the past three years, 138 solar-related house fires have been reported — many of them preventable with regular check-ups. The majority of these incidents occur between September and January, making spring the smartest time to act.

Why your solar system needs servicing

Just like a car, your solar system requires regular servicing to operate safely. Over time, the outdoor elements wear down essential components like isolators, switches and wiring.

Warning signs that your system may need attention include:
– Burning smells
– Unusual noises
– Fluctuating performance
– Visible signs of wear

Even if everything seems fine, it’s important to schedule a solar system service every 2 years.

Avoid unqualified operators

According to Energy Safe Victoria, some businesses offering “solar maintenance” are simply cleaning panels — without inspecting critical electrical components. Worse, unlicensed work can void warranties or increase the risk of electrical faults and fires.
