Inspection of a Solar and Battery System – Part One - CPD429

This course is Part 1 of a two-part series covering the full inspection of a solar and battery system, demonstrated by a licensed electrical inspector. It focuses on the first stage of the inspection process, including installation overview and roof inspection, giving you a clear, practical understanding of how to assess a system before moving into detailed testing and final verification.

Throughout the course, you’ll follow a real-world inspection walkthrough, covering rooftop layout, cabling, disconnection points, earthing, and mechanical fixings. You’ll see exactly what should be checked, what a compliant installation looks like, and where common defects occur. This helps you avoid issues that lead to failed inspections, system underperformance, or costly revisits.

Importantly, the course is aligned with what electrical inspectors in Victoria commonly assess, giving you a clear understanding of what needs to be compliant for sign-off. For installers in other states, it provides a practical framework to ensure systems are installed safely, correctly, and ready for audit. Part 2 continues this process through inverter, battery, and switchboard testing, completing the full inspection and sign-off process.
