What this sheet is for

Leave behind one sheet that says exactly what is on the roof and in the loft, so the next engineer, the customer or the insurer does not have to climb up to find out.

Who it is for

Solar PV installers and electricians, and the customers who want the record kept with the house papers.

How to use it

Fill in the panels, mounting system and roof at the top.
Take one line per string: roof face, orientation and pitch, panel count, inverter input and where the DC isolator is.
Record the inverter, storage, connection point, protection and the network notification reference.
Tick the handover items with the customer, write the meter reading, and both sign.

What is on the sheet

One page, top to bottom:

Printed under the title: One solar PV installation as fitted: the array, strings and inverter, the isolators and meter, the notifications sent and what the customer was shown.

Results on the certificate; the installation here. Commissioning results go on the certificate your scheme has you issue; this sheet records which one went out. Fixings are the mounting system's instructions, and earthing and protection are your design — each has a blank.

Questions

Why are there no test results on the sheet?

Because they belong on the commissioning certificate your scheme has you issue, and repeating them here invites a mismatch. The sheet records which certificate went out and its number, and everything about the installation that the certificate does not describe.

What about the ongoing generation figures?

Those go on the Solar Panel and Inverter Log, which the customer keeps. This sheet is the day it was fitted.
