Challenges Faced in Solar Installation for Trigg, Perth Resident

Ageing Roof and Cable Routing Risks

The beachfront home in Trigg featured an ageing tiled roof, with several tiles showing signs of disintegration. While the new system was designed for rafter-mounted rails, safe access for cabling still required tile removal for key runs—posing a risk of breakage. Navigating across brittle tiles added complexity.

Coordination with Future Roof Decisions

Uncertainty about whether the roof would be replaced soon prompted a staged consultation process. Australis Solar advised on whether the system could proceed now or if roof works should occur first. The homeowner opted to go ahead, ensuring spare tiles were available on-site to mitigate damage risk during installation.
