Frequently asked questions about PV Inspection Report

How often should a solar PV system be inspected?

The IET Code of Practice recommends periodic inspection at intervals determined by a risk assessment. For domestic installations, annual visual inspection and testing every 5 years is typical. Commercial installations may require more frequent inspection depending on the environment and system size.

What does a PV system inspection include?

A comprehensive inspection includes visual checks of all components (modules, mounting, cables, connectors, isolators), electrical testing (string Voc/Isc, insulation resistance, earth continuity), and a performance assessment comparing actual output to expected generation. The inspector grades the overall condition and provides recommendations.
