The Queensland Government has announced a recall of a faulty solar panel part which has sparked about 40 fires.

The Government's Electrical Safety Office has banned the sale or installation of Avanco and PV Power-branded DC isolators.

Master Electricians Australia chief executive Malcolm Richards says the recalled isolator may overheat or catch fire.

He says he knows of about 40 to 50 fires that have been started by the faulty isolators.

Mr Richards says if solar panel owners see their DC isolators are made by either brand, they should disable it immediately.

"We're warning home owners to carefully check the brand of isolator that is connected to your solar panels," he said.
