Signs your system needs a health check
If any of these apply, book an inspection now — the longer DC faults run, the higher the risk of inverter failure or rooftop fire.
Generation has dropped
Your app or bill shows 15%+ less production than last year — usually a failed panel, MPPT, or string isolation fault.
Inverter is throwing faults
Recurring 'isolation alarm', 'arc fault' or 'grid voltage' errors. Most Brisbane homeowners ignore these until the inverter dies.
System over 5 years old
DC isolators, MC4 connectors and rooftop cabling fail in the Queensland sun. Inspection at 5 and 8 years is industry best-practice.
Buying or selling a home
Independent solar inspection report adds confidence for buyers and protects sellers from post-settlement disputes.
Insurance or warranty claim
Insurers and manufacturers require an independent technical report before approving panel, inverter or storm-damage claims.
Never had one done
Most Brisbane systems have never been inspected since install. Hidden DC arc faults are the #1 cause of rooftop fires in Australia.
DC arc faults are the #1 cause of rooftop fires
Fire & Rescue NSW data shows over 800 solar-related house fires since 2018, almost all from DC isolator water ingress or aged MC4 connectors — both invisible from the ground and both checked in our inspection.
