  • When to get an inspection 
Solar systems typically need inspection after installation and before any sale. The inspection ensures the property's electrical system can handle the solar system and panels and that the solar system is functioning properly.
  • Who to hire 
It's recommended to hire a third-party company to perform the inspection, as the company that installed the system may not be objective. 
  • What to expect 
An inspection will review the electrical system and structure of the solar panel system. The inspector will check that the system is installed correctly, complies with building codes, and doesn't pose a fire hazard. They'll also verify that the right equipment is installed, including the correct grounding, breaker size, and wire gauge. 
  • What to look for 
The inspector will check that the solar panels are securely connected to the roof and that wires aren't dangling down. They'll also check the mounting brackets and penetration points to ensure a weatherproof seal. The solar system will also be evaluated for how much it is producing.
