Why Your Switchboard Matters for Solar and Batteries
The switchboard is where your solar and battery connect to the house. If it is old or full, it may need work before anything else goes in. Better to find that out at the site visit than on install day.
What we look for
We check the age and condition of the board, whether there is room for new circuit breakers, whether safety switches are protecting your circuits, and whether anything in there is no longer up to standard.
Why it gets missed
A quote done without seeing the board has to guess. That is when you get a variation on the day. Because our electricians do the switchboard work themselves, it is checked and priced as part of the job.
Signs to call an electrician now
A burning smell, buzzing, scorch marks or breakers that keep tripping should not wait for a solar quote. Turn the power off at the main switch if it is safe to do so and call a licensed electrician.
