Help for electricians completing a solar PV commissioning record in Tradie Forms.
National Electrical
Tradie Forms
Commission a solar PV system, record per-string readings, complete the handover, and download a signed PDF aligned with AS/NZS 5033 and AS/NZS 4777.
Open this form The Solar PV Commissioning Record keeps the installed system, commissioning checks, string readings, customer handover, and signatures in one PDF.
This is a Tradie Forms designed record. It is not a certificate of electrical safety, network approval, or STC assignment form.
Open the Solar PV Commissioning Record when the system is ready for final testing.
Complete the electrical compliance, network, retailer, and scheme paperwork
required for the job separately.
Have the panel and inverter make, model, serial, and ratings ready.
Confirm the network-approved export limit, if one applies.
Have your test equipment ready for insulation resistance, earth continuity, grid voltage, Voc, and Isc readings.
Confirm which manuals, warranty documents, shutdown steps, and monitoring access must be handed over.
Add the business and installer details shown at the top of the record.
Business Name and Installer Name are required.Add the ABN, electrical licence, accreditation number, and phone where they identify the installer.
The optional logo appears at the top right of the PDF.
Save this section on Solo or Team to prefill it on the next job.
Enter the client and commissioning date. Add a contact and job reference to keep the record with the right installation.
Search the Site Address to fill the address, suburb, state, and postcode together.
Record the panel and inverter details exactly as installed.
Add the panel make and model, quantity, and array capacity.
Add the inverter make and model, capacity, and serial.

The app records documented deviations. It does not decide whether the installation complies.
Add the array insulation resistance, earth continuity, and grid voltage at the inverter.
Add one row per PV string:
String identifies the string.Voc is the measured open-circuit voltage.Isc is the measured short-circuit current.Expected Voc is optional.
At least one string row is required. Long string lists continue onto extra PDF pages.
Tick the documents and instructions provided to the customer. Confirm whether the customer was briefed and add notes for anything that needs follow-up.
The checklist covers manuals, warranty documents, shutdown and isolation, monitoring, and the network or meter application status.
