Hungry Jack’s boosts solar safety with Industrias audits

Industrias has partnered with Hungry Jack’s to deliver annual, data-led post-installation audits across restaurants nationwide—shifting from reactive fixes to a predictive, maintenance-first model that safeguards safety, performance, and ROI over each system’s lifecycle – right from the start!

“Maintenance of our solar systems is important to ensure the systems are safe, compliant, and operating efficiently.”

As covered by IT Brief Australia, the nationwide program is designed to go beyond simple compliance, using a centralised technology platform to record each system’s performance, risk, and safety metrics—so issues are surfaced early and addressed proactively within the DLP period.

While advanced monitoring is often associated with utility-scale plants, the same analytics deliver outsized value for commercial rooftop arrays in the ~30 kW range typical of quick-service restaurants. Standardised audits across a multi-site portfolio create a single source of truth on system health, catch subtle degradation, installation and compliance issues early, and ensures each store consistently captures the clean-energy yield it was designed to produce—without compromising safety or compliance.

As noted by IT Brief, our platform is able to track Performance Deviation Analysis (expected vs actual output), Component Reliability Scores (benchmarking inverters, panels, and cabling against failure patterns), a Safety & Compliance Index (ongoing adherence to electrical standards), and Lifecycle Optimisation Forecasts (maintenance or replacement timing to maximise return). Combined with predictive analytics and historical performance data, this approach helps isolate under-performing modules and project future faults that periodic checks might miss—keeping systems safe and productive over their full lifecycle.

Our audit program standardises best-practice checks across a distributed portfolio to surface issues early and direct the right remediation at the right time. Key focus areas include:
