Assuming your solar is working is a terrible strategy. Here’s why…
When was the last time you checked if your home's solar was making an impact?
Assuming it works could cost you thousands.
Especially if it doesn't produce enough energy to make a dent in your bill.
The problem with older systems is that they're often neglected and over time panels degrade and inverters fail.
And homeowners are often completely unaware of it.
They think their solar works fine.
So before you get smashed by Perth's hot summer, it might be worth checking if your old system is actually pulling its weight.
Systems 10+ years old were pretty small relative to what you can put on today too.
