A building report is not enough
A standard building or LIM check does not open the array, the inverter or the DC connectors. Solar needs its own look.
Solar inspection
Before you buy
A solar report sits beside the building report
If the property already has solar, you need to know it is safe and working. We inspect the electrical system (not just a glance at the roof) and leave you findings in writing.
Safety first
Loose connectors, tired isolators and poor earthing are fire and shock risks. You want that known before settlement.
Is it actually earning?
Panels can sit on the roof and still underperform. We check output, monitoring and whether the kit matches what was sold.
A report you can use
Findings in writing, with photos. Take it to the lawyer, the bank or the seller. Facts, not a sales pitch.
Who it is for
Buyers, sellers and the people acting for them
We inspect systems we installed and systems we did not. The job is the report, not a pitch for new panels.
Buying
A condition report before you commit, so solar is not a surprise after the keys change hands.
Selling
Show the next owner the system is safe and working. Fixes can happen on your terms, not at the eleventh hour.
Acting for someone
Lawyers, conveyancers and family members who need a clear electrical picture, not a quote for a new system.
Full check
What we look at on site
Panels, mounts, connectors, cabling, isolators, inverter, battery if there is one, the switchboard, monitoring and the paperwork that should sit with the system.
Panels and mounts
Condition, shading, cracks, soiling and whether the rails and fixings still hold the roof warranty line.
Connectors and DC cabling
MC4 and like connectors, cable runs, UV damage, pinch points and signs of overheating or water ingress.
Isolators and earthing
DC and AC isolators, bonding and earth continuity. The bits that keep people and the building safe.
Inverter
Make, age, error history, ventilation, isolation and whether it is still supported with parts and firmware.
Battery and backup
If there is storage, we check the unit, isolation, enclosure and how it behaves on a grid event.
Switchboard and AC side
Protection, labelling, export metering and whether the board is fit for the system now on the roof.
Monitoring and output
App or portal access, generation against what the site should produce and any strings that look off.
Paperwork
Certificates, as-builts, warranties and network approval where they exist. Gaps get named, not guessed.
Signed off by an inspector
Alan looks at the electrical work
Alan Gellert is a co-owner and an electrical inspector (EWRB I 254535). The report is written for settlement, not for a sales folder. You get what is safe, what needs work and what can wait.
