01
Make the area safe
- Keep clear of fallen conductors, damaged modules, loose metalwork and flooded equipment.
- Contact emergency or network services where public electrical hazards are present.
- Do not rely on a dark display as proof that DC equipment is de-energised.
02
Observe from a safe position
- Record visible debris, broken glass, movement, water ingress and equipment alerts.
- Capture the time, storm type and any outage or surge evidence.
- Do not clean, move or reconnect damaged components.
03
Arrange assessment
- Provide photographs and system details to an SAA-accredited solar installer.
- Ask for the required electrical and structural inspection scope to be confirmed.
- Keep the inspection findings and rectification evidence with the job.
