Ho Hum, Solar....one of the best & worst things ever :-)

Well said!   *%* Couldn't agree more! They are causing some serious overvoltage issues in south east Queensland. Not saying they are totally a bad thing, I have a system on my roof and have installed a few but maybe a not so well thought out power generation system. Just remember your inverter will most likely fail no matter what brand it is. I have replaced many inverters of all brands. There is no rebate for repairing or replacing it once it is out of warranty. It can be a big shock to the customer when they find a new inverter "can" cost almost as much as the whole system originally cost. Just something to consider. Also remember the panels produce power anytime the sun is out even if your system is turned off so regular inspections of the panels and roof top isolator will greatly reduce the risk of fire.
