As the Sunshine Coast & Brisbane braces for Cyclone Alfred, it’s crucial to ensure your solar panel

system is prepared to withstand severe weather conditions. Taking proactive steps can protect your

investment and maintain energy reliability during and after the cyclone.

1. Secure Installation

Ensure your solar panels are installed by qualified professionals such as Circuit alert Electrical &

Solar who adhere to Australian Standards for cyclone-prone areas. Proper fastening of panels,

inverters, and associated equipment to the roof structure is essential to prevent wind-induced

damage.

2. Reinforce Mounting Structures

Utilise cyclone-rated brackets and rails designed to endure high winds. Regularly inspect these

components for signs of wear or loosening, especially before the cyclone season. Unfortunately this

is one of the things you get what you paid for when you first installed the system and we regally see

no compliant installation practices using cheap fixing components and substandard installation

techniques.

3. Clear Surrounding Areas

Remove any debris, branches, or objects near your solar panels that could become projectiles in

strong winds. Maintaining a clear perimeter reduces the risk of damage.
