Providing an online list of inspection requirements will reduce informational barriers between inspectors and solar installers, helping to ensure that all items in the inspection process have been adequately addressed before inspectors arrive on site. These checklists can be used to highlight “common mistakes” made by installers.

This article will briefly outline a suggested process for handling permit applications, plan review, and the inspection process for PV systems. In terms of full disclosure, I am an electrical engineer and not a licensed PV
At present, PV power plants mainly adopt fixed metal or composite mounting bracket, PV tracker and polymer floating buoy for floating PV plants. TÜV NORD provides a comprehensive
You have a basic idea of the components and what you should find on site. PV systems evolve as technology advances. The following resources will help you to learn more about PV system components and safety and
During an onsite solar inspection, systems are evaluated for installation quality, equipment compatibility and compliance to building codes, and ensuring the system was installed as it was permitted. In some parts of the country, a licensed electrician is required to be present during an electrical inspection.
Model Inspection Checklist for Rooftop PV Systems IREC provides a model checklist for municipalities to adopt an inspection checklist that can be used for streamlined on-site verification of compliance with code requirements for inspectors.
The checklist does not need to take the exact form of this template, but it should include the basic information an installer, developer, or property owner would need to know in order to receive approval for the installation of a residential solar PV system.
Firefighter access according to approved plan. Roof-mounted PV systems have the required fire classification (CBC 1505.9 or CRC R902.4). Grounding/bonding of rack and modules according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions that are approved and listed.
Again, the best way to streamline the process is to set up a MOU with the fire department and determine a set of requirements that, if followed, do not require additional fire service review. Staff training on the solar permitting and inspection processes is often a challenge for local jurisdictions.
The solar inspection process is one of the most time-consuming parts of any company’s operations, from design to installation. PV Education 101: A Guide for Solar Installation Professionals shows how to frame solar panel inspection when speaking to your customers about development costs and installation timelines.
