Solar PV commissioning,
tested and on record.
A Solar PV Test Sheet built to AS/NZS 5033, AS/NZS 4777.1 and AS/NZS 5139, in the same account as your certificates and electrical test sheets. Record the system, the string tests, the inverter's a.c. circuit and the commissioning checks on site, then send a clean, branded PDF.
Included in every Electrical plan, at no extra cost.
The whole system on one record
Pick how many arrays, strings, inverters, batteries and gateway or backup units the job has and the sheet builds the rows for you. Record the module and inverter details, the calculated PV d.c. maximum voltage, the export or generation limit and the conditions at test.
Each string gets polarity, open circuit voltage (with the expected Voc alongside for comparison), short circuit and operating current. Each array gets insulation resistance at the AS/NZS 5033 test voltage for its system voltage, and every mounting rail, battery and gateway gets an earth continuity reading.
Checklists from the standards, edited to suit you
Visual inspection, commissioning, battery commissioning and backup supply checklists come pre-written from AS/NZS 5033, AS/NZS 4777.1 and AS/NZS 5139. Your company can edit any line, delete it or add your own, and mark a whole list as Pass in one tap when everything checks out.
The inverter's connection and disconnection times sit next to the AS/NZS 4777.1 limits, and any reading outside a standard's limit is listed on the finished sheet for you to check.
Photos, sorted as you take them
Tag each photo as the roof array, inverter, switchboard, d.c. isolator, battery, labels and signage and more, and every photo is added to the finished PDF.
Linked to the certificate
Link the Solar PV Test Sheet to the job's Certificate of Compliance so the two are filed together, the same way your electrical test sheets are.
Straight onto the job
Linked to a job in Fergus, Simpro or Work Flow Trade? The finished test sheet goes back onto the job on its own, the same as your certificates. See integrations
Works on the roof, signal or not
Keep filling in the sheet with no reception. It syncs once you're back in range, on any phone, tablet or computer.
Solar calculators for the design
Worked to AS/NZS 5033 and AS/NZS 4777.1, with the standard's clause cited in the results. No login required.
Solar String Sizing & DC:AC Ratio
Panels per string for your inverter, then the array layout and DC:AC ratio.
Solar DC Voltage Drop
Check PV d.c. cable volt drop against the AS/NZS 5033 limit.
DC Isolator & Fuse Rating
String fuse, cable and d.c. isolator ratings for a PV array.
AC Voltage Rise
Inverter to point of supply, checked against the AS/NZS 4777.1 2% limit.

Solar questions
Which standards is the Solar PV Test Sheet built to?
AS/NZS 5033:2021 for the PV array verification and commissioning tests, AS/NZS 4777.1:2024 for the inverter's commissioning (including the connection and disconnection times) and AS/NZS 5139:2019 for battery commissioning. The checklist wording is CertMate's own summary of each standard, so check it against your own copies.
Does the Solar PV Test Sheet cost extra?
No. It's included in every CertMate Electrical plan at no extra cost, alongside your certificates and electrical test sheets.
Can I change the checklists?
Yes. The visual inspection, commissioning, battery and backup supply checklists come pre-written, and your company can edit any line, delete it or add your own to suit how you work.
Does it cover batteries and backup units?
Yes. Each battery and gateway or backup unit gets its own details and earth continuity reading, with battery commissioning and backup supply checklists for the systems that have them.
Are the solar calculators free?
Yes. String Sizing & DC:AC Ratio, Solar DC Voltage Drop, DC Isolator & Fuse Rating and AC Voltage Rise are free for anyone to use, no login required.
