Risk Level: High

The product has been identified as presenting a high risk of electric shock. Investigations identified ‘chalking’ on the backing of solar panels, which can occur over time and result in cracks forming along the internal connector of the module. These cracks can lead to voltage transmission from the module to the frame, which could result in an individual receiving an electric shock if they are touching the panel when this voltage transmission occurs.

Corrective Action

The manufacturer has issued a safety warning letter to consumers setting out the potential risks presented by the product. Affected product will require being taken out of operation or isolated such that access to the modules is prevented. Switching off the module (inverter) is not sufficient to remove the risk. Affected consumers should follow the information set out in the safety warning letter.
