PV Solar Panel Systems on Buildings Checklist

20+

This checklist guides safe planning, installation, and upkeep of photovoltaic solar panel systems on buildings. It covers risk assessment, structural and roof suitability, accredited installers, compliance with national electrical standards, lightning protection and earthing, arc-fault and residual current monitoring, and safety interlocks. It details cable routing to prevent fire spread, UV protection, signage, inverter location and fire-rated compartments, and clear isolation points for DC and AC. Ongoing inspection, cleaning, IR thermography, automatic detection and suppression, alarm signaling, emergency response, and business continuity are also addressed.

Solar PV Inspection QA Checklist
This Solar PV Inspection QA checklist helps verify the quality and compliance of photovoltaic installations before commissioning. It covers site details, inverter type and location, panel sizing and placement, shading assessment, cable routing and protection, isolator selection and positioning, IP rating and labeling, structural and earthing requirements, and monitoring or export limiting setup. It aligns with AS5033 and AS3000 guidance to ensure safe, reliable performance and workmanship that meets regulatory and manufacturer standards.

Solar PV Inspection Checklist
Use this solar inspection checklist to evaluate PV arrays, inverters, AC/DC isolators, wiring, labeling, and switchboard signage. Capture site details, meter and phase information, verify bonding and earthing continuity, check conduit protection and UV ratings, confirm inverter location and anti‑islanding, and validate AC polarity, fault loop impedance, and RCD requirements. Includes shutdown procedures and required warning labels (e.g., dual supply, hazardous DC). Ideal for installers and auditors to standardize inspections and document compliance.

PV Installation Audit Checklist
This PV installation audit checklist helps inspectors and contractors verify the quality and safety of residential or commercial solar PV systems. It covers dynamic risk assessment, roof mounting and hardware, DC cabling and connectors, internal cable routing, inverter selection and placement, AC protection, meters, and labeling per MCS requirements. It also reviews electrical test sheets, commissioning, and housekeeping to ensure systems are compliant, reliable, and ready for operation.

PV Survey Checklist
Conduct a complete PV survey before installation. This checklist covers property and planning details, roof and loft condition, orientation and shading, available roof area and obstructions, proposed panel layout and output, inverter placement and DC isolation, AC isolation and generation meter location, cable routes, electrical board capacity and earthing, and scaffolding and access needs. Use it to verify feasibility, safety, and compliance for domestic or commercial solar projects.
