Hi Guys,

What are the common latent issues and maintenance issues if any  that you guys have experienced after doing a Solar installation or is it as simple as Buy, Install and Sitback for 10 to 15 years 🤷‍♂️

You missed out the most critical part ... "monitor".

Buy, install and then monitor. Why I say the most critical ... spending all that money and not know what the system is doing over a period of time, just doesn't make financial sense. 

If the system is designed installed and 100% efficient ... that is great news ... but if not then you need to tweek it until you get it operating as efficiently as possible. 

Different strokes for different folks.

However, I share @isetech's view.

The reason for monitoring (the Check step in the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle) is to determine what has resulted from the installation's operation. A part of this is identifying system improvement opportunities (e.g. optimising settings), but the other part is noting what adjustment *you* may require (habits, schedules, etc.) in order to improve your power system's performance.

If you'll invest some time to understand your system and its peculiar details, you'll be better equipped to confidently extract maximum benefit. Many owners soon realise that their installer is not an expert regarding their specific system configuration.
