Success Residential Solar Installation: Overcoming Challenges for a Greener Future

Australis Solar recently completed a complex solar system upgrade for a homeowner in Success, Perth. The project involved addressing unique challenges while delivering a high-performance solution tailored to their needs.

Challenges Faced During Solar Installation in Success

When we were called to enhance the resident’s existing solar system, our team encountered several key obstacles:

1. Underperforming Existing System:
   • The current solar setup was failing to meet the homeowner’s energy demands, resulting in higher reliance on grid power.
2. Design Constraints Due to Brittle Tiles:
   • Fragile and immovable tiles, particularly ridge caps, limited options for panel placement.
3. Irregular Roof Purlins:
   • Misaligned purlins made the initial panel layout unfeasible.
4. Full Circuit Board:
   • Upon inspection, the circuit board was found to be completely filled after escutcheon removal, requiring significant upgrades.
5. Mounting Issues for Sigenergy Equipment:
   • Original mounting bolts were too long for the concrete slab, complicating the installation of the Sigenergy controller and batteries.

Tailored Solutions for Success Solar Installation

To overcome these challenges and ensure a seamless solar upgrade, Australis Solar implemented the following solutions:

1. Environmentally Responsible System Removal:
   • The old system was carefully dismantled and recycled in line with sustainable practices, reducing waste and supporting a circular economy.
2. Design Adjustments for Panel Placement:
   • The panel count was reduced, and the layout was redesigned to work around fragile roof tiles, with STCs and costs adjusted accordingly.
3. Circuit Board Overhaul:
   • The entire DIN kit was replaced, and the board was rewired to accommodate the upgraded solar system, ensuring compliance and capacity.
4. Custom Mounting Solution:
   • Our team addressed the mounting issue by using 65mm M10 bolts to securely install the Sigenergy controller and batteries.

Impressive Results for Success Homeowner

This tailored solution significantly enhanced the homeowner’s energy efficiency and sustainability:

• Annual Output: 16,006 kWh
• Energy Offset: 89%

The new system not only resolved existing limitations but also delivered substantial energy savings, empowering the homeowner to enjoy a greener, more independent energy lifestyle.
