When do I need a PV inspection?

Once installation is complete and before the system goes into operation, again when connecting to the grid, and then periodically during operation. We also recommend an inspection after a lightning strike, a severe storm, or any work on the installation.

Do you check the DC side too?

Yes. The inspection covers both DC and AC — panels, DC wiring and protection, inverters, the AC side, earthing and surge protection.

Will you inspect a PV system you didn't design?

Yes, of course. Having the project documentation available makes the inspection quicker, but it isn't a requirement.

Solar PV Inspection

Expert inspections and testing of photovoltaic systems and their electrical installation

We arrange expert inspections and testing of photovoltaic systems — covering both the DC and AC side of the installation, inverters, switchboards, protective devices, earthing and surge protection. We recommend an inspection once installation is complete, before grid connection, and then periodically during operation, since PV systems are permanently exposed to the weather. As we also design PV systems, we understand them from the design stage right through to operation.
