AUSTRALIAN PRODUCT RECALL

Shenzhen Sofar Solar Mass Energy Inverter

Published 19 April 2018

Product

Grid tied photo voltaic inverter. Inverters convert DC current produced from solar energy to AC current usable for domestic and commercial power consumption. This grid tied inverter exports excess solar production to the network grid.

Why it was recalled

The inverter can exceed voltage limits, and may not switch off when required. Also, the inverter is not labelled to warn of a hot surface.

Hazard

If the inverter continues operating in the event of variations in the power grid voltage, there is small risk that electrical products in the premises could fail in an unsafe manner resulting in electric shock and/or fire. Contact with hot surfaces of the inverter may cause burns.
