☀️ Heads up, WA solar owners! ☀️
Today (Thursday 13 August), Synergy ran a routine Emergency Solar Management (ESM) test across some rooftop solar systems. This is completely normal, no need to worry! ✅
**What is it?** 🔧
ESM testing makes sure solar systems can be remotely managed during low load events. It's a compliance requirement that helps prevent widespread electricity interruptions across the grid.
**Noticed your system online but not generating? 👀**
That's expected during testing! Here's what to do:
📶 Stay connected to your Wi-Fi, this helps your system reconnect smoothly once the test finishes.
⏱️ Impact should only last around **two hours**.
🔄 Your system will return to normal generation automatically.
Nothing's broken, it's just the grid doing its job to keep power reliable for everyone. 💪
