So, I am being approached regularly now to do inspections and issue coc's for pv systems, inverters and batteries that have been installed by unregistered installers.
Up to now I have refused, but I'm having second thoughts. I refuse, but the next man obliges and 1,2,3 the client has their coc.
What does one do ?
We ain't gonna get rid of the unregistered installers. How ?
They are not DOL registered. They are not members of any organizations. It's a free for all.
I've now decided to do inspections on condition that my inspection fee is paid upfront and then only issue a coc after all defects found have been rectified by the installer to my satisfaction.
I know it will be prostituting my licence, but at least the installation will be brought up to standard.
What other options do we, as registered contractors have ?
Talk to me.
