Inspecting Solar and Battery Systems: Getting the Readings Right
A working training for inspectors on the parts of a solar inspection that are easy to get wrong. We get into inspecting solar that is tied into batteries, on grid and off grid, how to take readings that actually hold up, and practical ways to make every solar inspection more accurate and thorough. Bring the systems that have stumped you, and you will walk away able to inspect solar with real confidence.

This is a working session, not a presentation. It is about the solar you are already walking past on the roof, and what you can responsibly say about it.
We go through condition, production, remaining life and safety: what to look at, what it means, and where inspectors most often get it wrong. Then how to write it up so the report protects your client instead of disclaiming the whole system.
Bring the questions from your recent inspections. The room works better when the examples are real, and the questions you bring get answered live.
What you'll walk away with
- What to look at on a solar system, and what it actually tells you
- How to talk about production and remaining life without guessing
- The safety items that matter most, and why the panels are rarely the problem
- How to write solar up so it protects your client
- Your own questions answered live
