I dont think people realise how many solar in installations are being done as DIY projects, you just have to join a few groups and forums to see all the DIY projects. It does make it easier for insurance companies and suppliers to identify them in case there is a claim.
Inspectors are openly offering to test DIY projects for a small fee.
I think the way smart people are looking at it, ride the crest wave while the councils, electrical industry and DOL scramble to find their way in the maze. the gravy train has left the station months ago, smart people with money have already made millions.
Very clever the way this industry has created a shortage which has resulted in massive price increases. Because people are desperate thanks to load shedding, they are blinded throwing money at the industry.
So here is a problem we have identified, the voltage in some industrial areas is over 250VAC due to the feed back from the massive solar system installed on a few of the factories surrounding the place we are working, as more and more panels are being fitted and grid tied, so the problem is going to increase. Throw in a few large compressors and other industrial machines, I can only see transient spikes getting worse.
