PROGRAM INSPECTION CHANGE
In first quarter of 2008 inspection changes will be made to
the CORE and SREC Pilot Programs. After March 31, 2008 the
order of inspection will be reversed. Presently, all projects
undergo a program inspection after the local code inspection
is performed. Under the new order of inspection to be implemented
after March 31, 2008, program inspections will be scheduled
prior to local code inspections. After the program inspection
is performed and receives a pass status, the installer will
be responsible for scheduling a local code inspection. Once
the local code inspection is complete the contractor or system
owner will be responsible for providing a copy of the local
jurisdiction UCC Certification or a detailed photograph of
the local code inspection sticker to the program for final
rebate processing.
This new order of inspection implies two
things. First, if during the course of the program inspection
egregious issues are discovered by the program inspector, and
remain unresolved, these findings will be formally forwarded
to the local code inspector. (Egregious findings are defined
as areas of concern regarding grounding, bonding and over-current
protection.) Second, that should the local inspection be performed
prior to the program inspection. The program inspection team
will be responsible for formally providing the findings of
the program inspection to the system owner.
For more information about this or any other program inspection
changes, contact Mark Valori, Renewable Energy Technical Director,
at 732-218-3411 or mark.valori@csgrp.com.
