Being off the grid, it was really informative to have access to the knowledge & experience of someone who has lived that lifestyle for some time & was willing to pass on their advice.

Terrible installation requiring VCAT order against installer
- Upgrade of existing 3kW system to 6.2kW system (the original 3kW system was previously installed by gREat)- Upgrade resulted in solar panels overhanging roof structure, at multiple orientation and pitch, overlapping and shadowing existing and new panels.
- Upgrade retained single Charge Controller (rated at Max 1.5kW input) resulting in bottleneck in output performance, operation at four times manufacturer maximum specification and ultimate failure.
- Use of multiple orientations and pitch with single Charge Controller (i.e. single MPPT) resulted in bottleneck in output performance.
- Installer would not provide system performance estimates, string diagrams, electrical safety certificate
- Installer would not assist with system remediation requiring separate review (at own cost) and additional $12k of remediation
- Installer opposed cost recovery resulting in VCAT legal action (at additional cost incurred to employ independent expert) with monetary order against the installer
- Installer did not challenge independent expert views on the installation limitations and issues
