SEIA is an association that represents Australian solar installers.Installers are concerned that continued use of Rooftop Isolators (RTIs) may breach their duty of care.We do not believe that EL42 has made a strong, evidence based case for the continuation of the use of RTIs.In the context of widespread failures of rooftop isolators, solar installers need to be convinced that the benefits from their continued use outweigh the risks of installing them.Until this can be publicly demonstrated, we recommend that the draft revisions to AS/NZ5033 be reconsidered, and the use of RTIs be made optional.

I have never been able to come to terms with the rule that we should place the most unreliable part of a solar system into the worst possible environment we can find in this country. They will fail, all of them cover or no cover before the expected 25 year life of a solar system. Wait till some bright eyed legal expert gets hold of this one.
