The Solar Health Check project is a joint initiative by Waverley, Woollahra, and Randwick Councils, working together to help residents and local businesses get the most out of their solar energy systems and check for any issues.

Background

Many solar systems in the Eastern Suburbs were installed more than a decade ago, during the early boom in residential solar uptake. While solar technology has come a long way since then, many systems- both older and newer- haven’t been regularly maintained or inspected. Research from the Clean Energy Council suggests that up to 20% of solar systems may be underperforming, non-compliant, or even unsafe due to age, damage, or poor installation quality.

To address this, our three councils have launched the Solar Health Check project: a free service offering to households, businesses and apartment buildings. Its quick and easy!

Our goal is to:

• Improve the performance of your solar system
• Detect any safety issues or non-conformances
• Advise on whether your system needs to be repaired to replaced

To make it simple and accessible, we’ve partnered with Diagno, an innovative Australian company that offers a remote solar inspection platform. Their technology enables fast, accurate solar system assessments- without the need for someone to visit your roof.

To be eligible

• Your building must be located in the Randwick, Waverley or Woollahra LGAs
• Your solar must have a functioning communications link (Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or 4G)
• Your solar must be connected to the electricity grid
