The Hidden Dangers of Cheap Solar Installations

The DC Arc Hazard

Solar panels produce High Voltage Direct Current (DC). Unlike AC power, a DC spark does not extinguish itself—it arcs and burns continuously. If an installer skips installing dedicated branded DC Breakers, a simple short circuit can burn your house down.

Missing Earthing Rods

Cheap installers often ground the inverter to your home's existing water pipes or skip earthing entirely. At SheikhX Solar, we bore deep independent chemical earthing rods specifically for the solar array. This ensures lightning strikes and grid surges are safely routed deep into the earth instead of frying your expensive inverter.
