Siemens Industry is recalling approximately 3,910 SolarReady Meter Combos because an interior electrical connection can overheat, posing a serious fire hazard. The firm has received eight reports of units overheating, including one report of a localized fire, though no injuries have been reported. These meter combos serve as the connection point for utility power, rooftop solar systems, and the home's main electrical panel. Affected units were sold through electrical distributors nationwide from August 2021 through April 2024 for prices between $640 and $990. Siemens will provide an on-site inspection and arrange for a licensed contractor to perform a free repair or replacement of the recalled equipment.
An internal connection within the meter combo can fail and overheat during normal operation. This defect has already resulted in one reported fire and multiple incidents of overheating, creating a risk of fire within the home's electrical infrastructure.
