Ballarat Solar Group specialise in the design and installation of grid connected solar and battery storage systems and this project in Ballarat was no different. Built for performance and peace of mind at a residential property, we added a 16kWh Sigenergy battery and 6kW Energy Controller in a secure location in the garage, protected from the elements! On the roof of the property we installed 20x440W Suntech panels, meaning reliable power from sunrise to sunset for our client. Speaking on the installation, Matthew Walsh said: “We’re committed to helping Ballarat homes take control of their energy future with smart, efficient solutions that are built to last.” We have completed similar jobs recently, including a solar and battery installation in Buninyong .

☀️ HOME & BUSINESS BATTERY SYSTEMS ☀️ Not all batteries are created equal, and investing your money in battery, or a battery & solar system shouldn’t be based on purchase price alone. It’s important to know what you want your battery to be able to do when the grid is there, and when in “back-up mode”, as well as a number of other important factors. Contact us for a one-on-one FREE information session in person at our office (by appointment); your home; or by phone. P: 1300 449 458 E: scott@matthewwalshelectrical.com.au

☀️ WHY SERVICING YOUR ROOFTOP SOLAR IS ESSENTIAL ☀️ Hot and cold temperatures, wind, rain and other extreme weather events can cause damage and wear to solar PV installations. Regular servicing mitigates this risk, ensuring they are working safely and efficiently. One of the more serious risks of poorly maintained systems is the potential for fire caused by a faulty DC isolator connected to the solar installation, usually on the roof. Changes in their design since 2018, and regular servicing are reducing this risk. The best way to identify faults and ensure your system is operating to its full capability while avoiding risks such as house fires is regular servicing by a licensed electrician, especially for systems installed before 2018. Over 2022-2023, there were more than 50 rooftop house fires on systems that had never been serviced. Had these systems been serviced, these fires would have been prevented.
