Solar Power / May 29, 2022

Let me assure you that generally, the news is not good! If your solar system is within 3 years old. It could possibly pass in the next few days. I say this because this has happened to my very system during periods of rainy wet weather. I got the Fronius State 475 error code up for a few days a couple of years ago, and never again. Weird, but it happened, I;ve also witnessed it a few other times since then too. Give it a few days of clear weather to dry everything out. What does the Isolation Fault on a solar inverter mean?

Axitec makes customers say that they ‘look like a premium solar panel’ because they are all black-framed. Customers absolutely froth on the whole ‘black-frame’ thing. If you are installing Silver framed solar panels on a home in 2022, it just doesn’t look ‘Premium’ apparently. I don’t know. This industry moves so quickly that I am embarrassed to admit that I do learn quite a bit of it from our over-enthusiastic customers, but how good is that! The solar freak and enthusiasts of Brisbane, have united and regularly seek further advice and installation from Queensland Solar & Lighting. Must be our 10+ years….
