Service guy discovered damage to the transformer on panel, what looks like maybe a slug or something got in?
Only have the system in three years and I wouldn’t consider it right to be having issues like this yearly for an expensive piece of kit.
Is it a case that it’s not sealed correctly and can it be sealed fully? Ground mounted unit.
Shoukd it be standard to at least coat the board in Q30 so that insects won’t short it?
Needs a new board but don’t fancy having to be getting one every few years which seems likely at this rate if insect issues keeps happening!
