Solar and Battery Installation Inspection Checklist (Free)

Solar and Battery Installation Inspection Checklist (Free)

May 08, 2026•1 min read

Work through a full solar and battery inspection in the same order Pat does on site: switchboard, battery, roof, then testing. Use it to check your own work before an inspector or a CER audit does.

Most failed inspections come down to the same few things: missing labels, earthing, loose cabling and tests that were skipped. This free checklist covers all of them in order, with tick boxes and a place to record your readings, so you can sign a job off knowing it is ready for approval.

What’s included

  • 14 sections in inspection order, from switchboard to roof

  • Earthing, insulation resistance and backup tests with pass values

  • Labelling, cabling and mounting checks inspectors look for

  • Free — no catch

Your presenter
