The day your installer finishes is the most important day of solar installation in Raipur from a quality point of view. Use this checklist to verify the work before signing off.

Quick answer: inspect structure, wiring, earthing, labels, inverter and monitoring, then collect all documents before paying the last instalment.

On the Roof

  • All clamps and bolts tight and rust-free.
  • Cables clipped and not touching the roof surface.
  • Foundations sealed with no visible gaps.
  • Panels aligned with no shading from new objects.
  • Earth pits and lightning arrestor in place.

At the Inverter and Panel

  • Inverter in shade with ventilation.
  • DC and AC isolators labelled.
  • Surge protection fitted.
  • Warning labels and single-line diagram displayed.
  • App connected and showing generation.

Insulation resistanceHigh, per standard
Earth resistanceLow, as specified
Inverter start and grid syncNormal, no fault codes

You do not need to interpret the numbers yourself; ask that they be recorded in the commissioning report and signed.

Photographs to Take

  • Each array from two angles.
  • Inverter and isolators with labels visible.
  • Earth pits and arrestor.
  • Meter and its reading.
  • Serial number stickers on panels and inverter.

Payment Discipline

Tie the final instalment to documents and net metering. If the installer is waiting on the utility for the meter, agree in writing what will be paid now and what later. Never hand over the final payment before you hold the warranty cards.

After Handover

Within the first month, compare generation with the estimate, confirm exports in the bill and note any error messages. Report problems in writing. See solar installation in Raipur for what a good process looks like.

Next Steps
