Before starting PV system testing
1. Check that non-current carrying metal parts
are grounded properly. (array frames, racks,
metal boxes, etc. are connected to the
grounding system)
2. Ensure that all labels and safety signs
specified in the plans are in place.
3. Verify that all disconnect switches (from the
main AC disconnect all the way through to
the combiner fuse switches) are in the open
position and tag each box with a warning sign
to signify that work on the PV system is in
progress.
4. Verify that all combiner fuses are removed
and that no voltage is present at the output
of the combiner box.
5. Visually inspect any plug and receptacle
connectors between the modules and panels
to ensure they are fully engaged.
6. Check that strain relief's / cable clamps are
properly installed on all cables and cords by
pulling on cables to verify.
7. Check to make sure all panels are attached
properly to their mounting brackets and
nothing catches the eye as being abnormal
or misaligned.
