Weโve had a few calls regarding turning the solar off as TC Alfred gets closer.
Rooftop solar systems are very robust and can handle all sorts of weather thrown at them, but not large trees and branches!
If you experience cyclonic winds with debris flying about, please turn your system off via the shutdown procedure outlined, AC isolator or solar supply main switch first, then the DC isolator at the inverter second.
Once the storm has passed, return the system via the DC isolator first, then the AC isolator or solar supply main switch second.

Got rooftop solar? Todayโs the time to turn off it off before Alfred hits.
Every system will have slightly different steps, so consult your manual or the installerโs shutdown procedures, which can usually be found at the inverter and/or on the main switchboard. However, as a guide, most will advise to turn off the inverter AC mains isolator, which is usually found in the meter box: itโs very important to turn the AC mains isolator off first, and then also to turn off the photovoltaic (PV) array DC isolator which is usually found next to the inverter.
โ ๏ธ Even if the network is not operational and panels aren't supplying the home, solar systems can continue to generate direct current (DC) power
โกNEVER climb onto the roof to check or touch the solar system or its components โ if thereโs any damage, the roof can be live
๐Treat all solar panels and cables as though theyโre live and dangerous
๐ฆ Never touch inverters, switchboards or other electrical equipment if itโs wet, or if youโre standing in water
