In the ACT, it is mandatory to complete an Anti-Islanding test of your solar PV inverter and battery every 5 years. This test ensures that in the event of a power black-out, your solar PV Inverter will shut down (islanding), so no electricity is pushed back to the grid.
This is a key safety feature of the grid so EvoEnergy can work on the network and get it back up and running, without the risk of electrocution.
SPECIAL THIS WEEK: Book an anti-islanding PV inverter test this week for just $199 (incl. GST) for one inverter.
The test involves a Solar Accreditation Australia (SAA) qualified electrician performing a simulated grid black-out and then testing how long it takes for your PV inverter or battery to shut down. It also involves several safety checks to make sure your solar system continues to operate in a safe manner.
In addition to the solar panel and inverter warranty, Huglo provides a 5 year warranty on your whole system.
Installing a solar system is only half the story. Ensuring you are on the best value electricity plan can reduce your payback period by 1.5 years

During a Solar PV anti-islanding test, our technicians evaluate your system's ability to detect grid disruptions and shut down safely when needed. This process involves simulating various grid fault scenarios to confirm that your Solar PV system reacts appropriately and does not continue generating power while isolated from the grid.
The test generally includes the following steps:
Voltage and Frequency Testing: Assessing the system’s response to fluctuations in voltage and frequency, which signal grid stability.
Disconnect Testing: Ensuring that the system disconnects from the grid quickly and safely when required.
Reconnection Testing: Verifying that the system can reconnect to the grid smoothly once conditions are safe.
