โ๏ธ Heads up, WA solar owners! โ๏ธ
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! โ
**What is it?** ๐ง
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? ๐**
That's expected during testing! Here's what to do:
๐ถ Stay connected to your Wi-Fi, this helps your system reconnect smoothly once the test finishes.
โฑ๏ธ Impact should only last around **two hours**.
๐ 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. ๐ช
