Rooftop Solar Approvals: A Practical Checklist
The approvals, documents, and site checks that help a rooftop solar project move smoothly toward grid connection.
Rooftop solar involves more than installing modules. Local rules, site ownership, sanctioned load, metering arrangements, structural checks, and electrical safety all need to be addressed in the right sequence.
Prepare the project documents early
Keep recent electricity bills, ownership or lease records, identity and business documents, site drawings, and connection details ready. Requirements vary by location and project type.
Confirm the technical route
The proposed capacity, interconnection point, protection system, meter arrangement, and cable route should align with the local distribution company process and the condition of the building.
Plan for inspection and commissioning
Testing records, as-built drawings, equipment details, and safety documentation make the final inspection and handover more organised.
