What is the difference between an electrician and a solar electrician?
When it comes to electrical work, many people may not realise that there are distinct differences between electricians and solar electricians. While both professions deal with electricity, their areas of expertise, training, and the nature of their work vary significantly.
Here are a few ways to differentiate between electricians and solar electricians:
Electricians:
Electricians are highly skilled professionals trained to handle a wide range of electrical systems and components in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. They are responsible for a broad spectrum of electrical work, including:
- Wiring installation, maintenance and repairs
- Diagnosing and repairing electrical faults
- Electrical upgrades of outlets and circuits
- Electrical code compliance
Solar Electricians:
Solar electricians, on the other hand, are a specialised subset of electricians who focus exclusively on solar power systems. They are experts in the design, installation, maintenance, and repair of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Their jobs include:
- Solar panel installation, maintenance and repairs
- Inverter installation, maintenance and repairs
- Solar battery installation, maintenance and repairs
- Grid connection
You’re in Safe Hands
Solar electricians also ensure that all safety regulations are met when handling solar equipment. This ensures that your solar system follows Clean Energy Council guidelines, Australian Electrical Safety standards and manufacturer warranty terms. As solar technology continues to evolve and become more advanced, solar electricians must stay up to date on the latest products and technologies to provide the most reliable service possible.
If installing a new Solar System, our solar electrician will create a safe, efficient, and cost-effective solar power system for your home or business, making sure that all safety regulations are met and that your system performance estimates are accurate, meeting or exceeding your power bill savings expectations.
Specific work performed exclusively by solar electricians
Solar electricians can perform many tasks associated with solar systems, from installation to repairs and more. Here are some of the specific tasks that they perform:
Professional Installation:
Solar electricians are trained to install solar panels safely, effectively, and in compliance with local building codes.
Efficiency Optimisation:
They can ensure that your panels are positioned correctly to capture maximum sunlight, optimising your system’s efficiency and energy production.
Inverter Expertise:
Solar electricians understand how to install, configure, and maintain solar inverters.
Battery Systems Expertise:
If you have a battery storage system to store excess solar energy, solar electricians can ensure its proper installation and integration into your solar setup.
Grid Connection:
Solar electricians are experts in connecting your solar system to the electrical grid.
Routine Maintenance:
Solar electricians can clean and inspect your panels, as well as check for any electrical or safety issues.
Solar System Repairs:
Solar electricians are specialists in photovoltaic (PV) systems and can diagnose and repair faults within the system, including replacement of parts.
Warranty Compliance:
Many solar panel manufacturers require professional installation and maintenance for their warranties to remain valid. Hiring a solar electrician ensures your investment is protected.
Did you know Solar panels produce direct current (DC)?
Most of us know the term AC (alternating current) for our Airconditioning needs, but Solar panels produce DC (direct current). What does this mean? When the sun shines on solar panels it creates an electron current. These electrons flow in the same direction, making the current direct (DC). However, the air-conditioner uses AC, so an inverter has to convert DC to AC.
A Solar Electrician is skilled in both DC and AC, whereas regular electricians are usually only skilled in AC.
