In light of the growing awareness of an issue with incorrectly installed DC circuit breakers on some household solar panel systems, the Clean Energy Council has released an information sheet to assist consumers to better understand this issue.

This has been identified as a low-risk problem. The safest thing to do is to leave your system alone and contact your solar company if you have any concerns.

If you are looking to install photovoltaic (PV) panels on the roof of your house or building then the job needs to be done by an accredited installer. The CEC has accredited more than 1000 installers of PV systems who are certified and trained to ensure your system meets industry best practice standards and all relevant Australian Standards.

With the increased range of solar panel systems around today, being an informed consumer has never been more important.

The Clean Energy Council has prepared a guide to help you find a system that’s right for you.
