Quick Answer
If a solar inspection is required, ensure compliance with local regulations and schedule the inspection with a certified solar inspector. Provide necessary documentation and access to the solar system. Correct any issues identified during the inspection to maintain system integrity.
Preparing for the Inspection
Before the solar inspection, gather all relevant documentation, including the solar panel installation permit, electrical permit, and any manufacturer certifications. Ensure that the solar array and associated electrical equipment are clean, tidy, and easily accessible. Remove any temporary covers or tarps that may be obstructing the inspector’s view.
Conducting the Inspection
During the inspection, the certified solar inspector will evaluate the solar panel installation, electrical connections, and overall system configuration. They will check for compliance with local building codes, electrical codes, and manufacturer specifications. The inspector will also verify that the solar array is properly sized for the electrical load and that the inverter is correctly connected to the electrical panel.
Correcting Identified Issues
If the solar inspection reveals any issues or defects, address them promptly and to the satisfaction of the inspector. Common issues may include loose connections, inadequate grounding, or incorrect wiring. Provide evidence of corrections, such as photographs or signed certificates, to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements.
