Hi there! I’m Pat Southwell, and I’ve been a Licensed Electrical Inspector (LEI) in Victoria for nearly three years. If you’re a Victorian reader, you’re likely aware that all solar installations in our state are inspected. If you’re outside Victoria, you might still experience inspections through the Clean Energy Regulator (CER) or other state government programs. These inspections are likely similar in scope, though they may not always be performed by trained or qualified inspectors—another tick for Victoria.
