Why you should get an independent solar inspection
January 22, 2025
If you’ve made the smart and sustainable choice to invest in solar energy for your home or business in New Zealand, then you’re already one step closer to reducing your reliance on traditional energy sources and lowering your carbon footprint. However, installing a solar energy system is just the beginning. To ensure the ongoing safety, efficiency, and longevity of your investment, it’s crucial to have an independent solar inspection conducted.
At Solartive, we’re committed to ensuring your solar system operates at its best, and that’s why want to emphasize the importance of obtaining an independent solar inspection.
The Importance of Solar Inspection
- Safety First: Safety should always be a top priority when it comes to any electrical system. A thorough solar inspection will ensure that your system is installed and functioning safely, reducing the risk of electrical hazards and fire.
- Ensure Proper Functioning: Over time, solar panels and their associated electrical components can degrade or develop faults. An independent inspection will identify any issues impacting the effectiveness of your solar system, ensuring that it continues to operate at peak efficiency.
- Compliance with Regulations: In New Zealand, there are regulations and standards in place that govern the installation and operation of solar energy systems. An independent inspection will verify that your system meets all legal requirements and standards, protecting you from potential liabilities.
- Protecting your Investment: Investing in an independent solar inspection not only protects your investment in the solar energy system, but it can also have significant implications for your domestic or commercial insurance. Many insurance providers will require this added measure of safety to guarantee your solar system is covered by your insurance policy. By demonstrating your solar system is compliant with all regulations, you can mitigate potential insurance-related issues in the future.
We include an independent solar inspection conducted by qualified and experienced professionals on every installation. Even better – to ensure our installation team is providing quality installation services, we use a range of inspectors across Te Tai Tokerau.
