Slugged By A High Bill

High Electricity Bills and Solar System Issues

A household in Seaton was experiencing an unexpected surge in electricity bills and reached out to Sharpe Trade Services to check if their solar system was functioning correctly. Upon inspection, the technician uncovered a critical issue that explained the high costs.

What the Technician Found

  • Part of the solar array had stopped producing power, forcing the home to rely on grid electricity.
  • A rooftop isolator switch showed signs of overheating, including internal burn marks.
  • The failure was linked to age and exposure to harsh weather, such as summer heat and winter storms.

Why Do Isolators Fail?

  1. Older isolators can deteriorate after years of summer heat and winter storms.
  2. Electrical components exposed to harsh weather often need regular maintenance to prevent costly failures.

Sharpe’s technician replaced the isolator switch with a quality modern version and fitted a weatherproof cover for ultimate protection.

Is Your Solar Isolator Safe?

How old is the isolating switch on your rooftop solar system? Some models have been subject to industry recalls since 2014, and failing to check could put your home at risk.

Now is the perfect time to book a Sharpe Trade Services specialist to inspect your solar system for safety and performance.

Why You Should Check Your Solar System

  • Older isolators can fail, especially after years of exposure to summer heat and winter storms.
  • Industry recalls have affected certain isolator models since 2014.
  • A faulty isolator can lead to overheating, burn marks, and system shutdown, increasing your electricity bills.
