Fault finding and defect notices

Sometimes, a system might have several errors with it. Some of which have been formerly identified by your network provider. This leads to a formal notice being issued to you, ordering it to be rectified. Rectifying this as soon as you can is paramount to avoid further action by the network. Informal defects mean that you have noticed something peculiar or obviously incorrect in your system, by arranging an inspection we can assist you in determining what the issue is and who is responsible.

We offer support in writing to verify our findings with images.

Q. I cannot get in touch with the people or tradesman who installed my system, what should i do?

A. Any fully qualified solar installer can assist you with this. All of us here at Beyond Solar are qualified to carry out the required work and issue out formal documentation to your network provider to clear any issues they have.

System upgrades

Did you know, you are still eligible for government incentives even if you want to upgrade your system?

February 2013 changes to the NSW Solar Bonus Scheme now make it viable to upgrade exisiting solar panel systems.

To quote the NSW Department of Trade & Investment, “customers who receive the 60 cents per kilowatt hour tariff may expand their overall generating capacity and retain the 60 cents tariff for their Scheme generator if the additional capacity is from a separately metered non-Scheme generator.”

In plain English, this means that all you 60c feed in tariff (FIT) customers currently in the Scheme can increase your overall generating capacity, keeping the 60c FIT on your existing system, when you add a new non-Scheme system and meter.
In essence you will end up with 2 systems:

1. Your current system will operate as before and you will benefit from the current FIT for all the electricity it generates (a ‘gross’ system);
2. Your new system will benefit you by generating even more electricity to offset the electricity your home uses (a ‘net’ system).

We can assist you with managing the application to do so from beginning to end. Call us now to ensure you get the best advice from the beginning!
