The installation crew walks the system with you, demonstrates the inverter and disconnect switches, hands over document folders, and asks you to sign an acceptance form. Production may already appear on the monitoring app, but permission to operate from the utility can still be pending.

Common Handover Questions
Quick answers before you write to us. Each topic has a full article in our library when you need more detail.
Most folders include permit copies, final inspection approval, equipment warranty certificates, serial number lists, and an as-built single-line diagram. If any of those are missing, ask for them while the crew is still on site rather than relying on email delivery later.
Installers typically mount a labeled disconnect near the inverter, meter, or main service panel depending on local code. You should see the switch operate in person and confirm the label is readable from the approach path a first responder would use.
Ask who registers equipment warranties, how long workmanship coverage lasts for roof penetrations, and which phone number to call for inverter replacement labor. Write down answers on the same page as serial numbers so future you does not need to decode warranty PDFs alone.
No. SunLedger publishes reference guides and responds to editorial inquiries. Physical inspections, code compliance checks, and contract negotiations remain the responsibility of your licensed installer and local authorities.
Roof leak claims often route through your installer or their roofing subcontractor during the workmanship period. Electrical faults inside the panel require a licensed electrician. Our guides describe what to document before calling, but we do not dispatch repair crews.

Important Information
The materials on this site serve an educational and informational purpose. They explain common handover procedures and help you prepare questions for your installation team. Content here does not replace advice from a licensed electrician, roofer, or solar contractor working on your property.
SunLedger is not an installation company. We do not mount panels, schedule crews, or perform acceptance inspections on your behalf. We do not sell panels, inverters, batteries, or related hardware, and we do not compare equipment brands or models.
Utility interconnection rules, local regulations, and warranty terms vary by state and territory. Confirm current requirements with your electric provider and relevant local authorities before making decisions about your system.
Grid interconnection, work inside your electrical panel, and structural roof assessments require a licensed professional in your jurisdiction. Do not attempt these tasks based on general information alone.
You remain responsible for choices about system size, contractor selection, and signing acceptance documents. Every home receives a unique document package — copying another homeowner's paperwork list without verifying your own contract terms can leave gaps in your records.
