Apologies for creating another one of these - I tried some codes from previous threads but got various errors - the latest being “You have already participated in this activity”.

The message above makes it seem like a referral has already been applied but I don’t see it reflected anywhere in the app (notifications, rewards) or the website and got not confirmation error or email, so I’m very confused…

I’m still within the 7 day window and have eligible gear installed. Waiting to hear back from my installer. My system is online but hasn’t been signed off by the inspector yet if that makes a difference - I do remember some commissioning wording in the SIgen terms.

Anyone else had a similar experience?

On another note someone else mentioned a ChoiceCheapies referral system with random codes or having the mods in a thread for referral codes, I think that’d be a good idea.

Looking forward to another day of paying significantly less for power. ☀️⚡️

Edit:

I reached out to my installer and he referred me to the Sigenergy helpline (+61 489 080 832). They couldn’t figure it out over the phone but got me to raise a support ticket for another team to look into. 🤞

Edit 2:

I got this resolved by Sigenergy support today. Initially they thought I was trying to use my own referral code. 🙃 They had to send it off to their R&D team as tier 1 support couldn’t tell me if a code had been applied or not… Seems like one of the earlier codes got applied. 🎉

Thanks to all for your help.

I’m currently going through quotes for a grid-tied residential solar install and I'm keen to understand any insurance implications.

My current roof is long-run colour steel and is 10 years old, I'm in Hamilton so harsh environmental conditions (salt, sulfur etc) aren't a concern. I've been up on the roof recently to spray some patches of lichen and my untrained eyes couldn't see any areas of concern.

Things I’m curious about:

• Did you disclose the solar install to your insurer?
• If yes:
  • Was it a new build or retrofit?
  • How did it affect your premiums?
  • What region are you located it?
  • Did they require any extra documentation/certification?
  • Did they specifically ask about batteries, EV chargers, backup capability etc?
• If no:
  • Was that based on advice from installer/broker/insurer?
  • Any concerns around future claims or non-disclosure?
• Has anyone changed insurer because of solar?
• Any insurers that were especially easy/difficult to deal with?

I would really appreciate hearing real-world experiences from people who already have systems installed.

To be clear, I'm leaning towards disclosure to be safe but just wanted to hear about other peoples experiences.

Thanks in advance!
