Faulty, dodgy or
just old electrical wiring can become dangerous to persons and
property and is the main cause for house fires in Australia.
Aging houses and their electrical installation struggle more and more with the number
of appliances plugged in and constantly added to the installation.
Older installation often do not have safety switches installed which are
essential for the protection of the occupance.
When getting solar panels installed, the old energy meter needs to be changed to a
smart meter that can measure import and export, before the solar
system can be turned on.
The meter board needs to be compliant or the meter provider will refuse changeover of
the meter, and the solar system cannot be turned on, until the meter
board is made compliant by an electrician.
Unfortunately, in the past, many of my customer have not been made aware of this fact,
by the solar salesperson.
