Register plug-in solar: keep the right records together

Make one folder for your own installation records. Save confirmations actually received, not just screenshots of an unsubmitted form. Where a seller uses a different marketing name from the device documentation, resolve that mismatch before proceeding. Do not guess a model from a similar-looking product in a register.

[ ] Exact product documentation
Identify the model and configuration you bought.
Notes: ______________________________

[ ] Compliance information
Check the device against the applicable requirements.
Notes: ______________________________

[ ] Household registration confirmation
Retain evidence of the registration you actually completed.
Notes: ______________________________

A personal purchasing checklist, not confirmation of suitability, permission or safety.
