  • Shading – from a nearby building, a chimney or trees that sway across your roof
  • Panel Direction – panels not facing the sun will not produce power, and may cause the inverter to drop out many times a day causing damage
  • Panel Tilt – ideally adjusted from season to season
  • Equipment Efficiencies – choose manufacturers who extensively test and incorporate advanced technology
  • Temperature Extremes – conditions that can cause damaging voltages or the inverter to drop out

Each type of solar PV system needs a particular type of battery, usually because of different voltages, but there are other factors to consider. Call us for more information.

As battery-ready inverters are relatively new, it’s likely that inverters more than 2 or 3 years old will need to be upgraded to allow for communication between a new ESS and the inverter. However, we can add batteries to existing solar PV systems, but we will need to do a full assessment.

Most battery systems have additional software that allows you/us to be notified of any faults, as well as for monitoring. Without a good internet package, we can also design a GSM (mobile) system to allow for reporting, and allow you to utilise the advanced features of most new solar ESS.

Perhaps you have fault codes on the screen. Maybe your inverter shows no signs of life at all. Or after a few days of bad weather you want to know your PV panels are not damaged or covered in leaves or dirt. You can always book with us to have an inspection carried out, just drop us an email anytime.

Our advice is to let our professionals take care of your investment. Panels that were wrongly installed in the first place just won’t do the job. Redshift Solar will address issues that are standing in the way of solar power success. Having debris like branches trapped under the panels must be avoided, especially in hot weather. Remember, PV systems are not mechanical, they’re electrical. Call us to have your system carefully examined with measurements taken to prove system operating stability.

Well not all “Tier 1” solar PV panels are the same in terms of: *quality of build *efficiency *power output *product warranty ***performance warranty.
