String Test VerifierRecord each string's Voc, Isc and polarity, compare them with temperature-corrected expected values and with sibling strings, and keep the readings on this device.Right-Now Output Spot CheckCheck whether the inverter's live reading is plausible for a clear sky, against a clear-sky ceiling built offline from the sun's position, the array and your own figures, with no irradiance meter.Continuity and Loop Impedance ExpectationWhen an inverter or battery AC circuit, or an array bonding reading, looks high: the R1+R2, R2 and Zs the conductors you enter give by arithmetic, beside your measured value, with the difference and the causes to check.AC Voltage Rise WorksheetCompare two entered voltage readings and document the rise in volts and percentage without applying a compliance verdict.

Essential Load ScheduleTurn entered continuous loads and daily run-times into a backup power and energy schedule, then compare each load's starting demand with the backup system's own surge rating.Three-Phase Load Balance WorksheetCompare entered phase currents, identify the highest and lowest phase, and quantify the spread without asserting a compliance limit.Equipment Status CheckCheck an exact inverter, PV module or battery model against the live Clean Energy Council (CEC) approved list, delisting and product recall pages and CSIP-AUS sources, plus Western Power network sources for WA sites.Owner Handover CardPrint a one-page card for the system owner: the manufacturer's codes with the reviewed owner action for each, when to call the installer, and a blank list of what to send.Grid Profile Settings FinderWhere each inverter family sets its AS/NZS 4777.2 region or grid profile and which manufacturer document says so, with each distribution network's own inverter settings page and the region quoted only where that page states it.Inverter AC Protection SheetWhat each inverter family's installation manual states about the external RCD, the upstream AC breaker and the AC conductor range, with the document, revision, page and date read for every figure.
