A stage cannot be signed off until ALL its pass criteria are met

Print this checklist. Carry it to site. Record values. Sign each stage.

Introduction

This checklist is the distillation of the entire cluster. Every pass criterion in it was derived from a calculation or verification step documented in one of the preceding eighteen posts. The cold Voc pass criterion in Stage 2 comes from the voltage calculation in the MPPT controller sizing guide. The fuse rating pass criterion in Stage 6 comes from the fusing rule in the DC cable sizing guide. The CVL/CCL/DCL pass criterion in Stage 4 comes from the BMS communication architecture in the battery bank sizing guide. The Off-Grid System Design Checklist does not replace those posts. It consolidates their verification steps into a single field document that can be completed without reference to any other source.

The ten mistakes documented in common off-grid system mistakes and how to avoid them are all prevented by this checklist. Every mistake maps to a specific stage and a specific pass criterion. A system that passes every criterion in this checklist will not produce any of those ten mistakes. The checklist is a field tool print it, carry it to site, and complete it with measured values recorded against each criterion before the project moves to the next stage.

Stage 1: Load Audit Checklist

The load audit establishes the daily energy demand figure that every downstream sizing calculation uses. No component can be correctly specified until this stage is complete and signed off. A load audit completed after the array and battery have been selected is not a load audit, it is a post-hoc justification of decisions already made.

S/N	Criterion	Verification Method	P/F
1.1	All loads identified with measured running power (W), duty cycle (%), and daily usage hours	Clamp meter or plug-in power meter during normal operation — not at startup
1.2	Motor loads separately identified: ACs, pumps, refrigerators, compressors	Visual inspection plus equipment specifications; confirm motor type for each
1.3	Starting surge current estimated: 6x running for direct-on-line, 3x with soft starter	Calculate from measured running current or nameplate; document per load
1.4	Phantom and standby loads identified with 24-hour daily energy contribution (Wh/day)	Clamp meter measurement at 22:00–02:00 with all deliberate loads off
1.5	Peak simultaneous load calculated: sum of all loads that could plausibly run at once (W)	List all simultaneously active loads; sum running powers
1.6	Worst-case surge demand: P_peak_running + (P_largest_motor x inrush_factor)	Calculate and document; this governs inverter surge specification
1.7	Daily energy demand calculated: Σ(P_load x duty_cycle x daily_hours) for all loads including standby	Sum all contributions; units = Wh/day
1.8	E_daily documented and agreed with client before any sizing proceeds	Written record with date and client acknowledgement

Stage 1 Sign-off: E_daily = _________ Wh/day | Signed: _________________ | Date: _________

Stage 2: Array Sizing Checklist

The array sizing stage confirms that the solar array produces sufficient derated daily harvest to meet the daily energy demand. Every calculation in this stage uses the E_daily figure signed off in Stage 1. A string configuration that passes all checks in this stage can be ordered and installed without revision.

#	Criterion	Verification Method	P/F
2.1	Peak sun hours confirmed for location and worst-case season	PSH reference data; use rainy season figure not annual average
2.2	Derating factor calculated: f_temp x f_soiling x f_mismatch x f_wiring	0.89 x 0.95 x 0.98 x 0.98 = 0.813; apply site-specific adjustments
2.3	Minimum array power: E_daily / (PSH x derating)	Calculate and document minimum array power required
2.4	Panel count selected with 10-15% design margin above minimum array power	N_panels = (min array power x 1.10) / panel rated power; round up
2.5	String configuration documented: N_series x N_parallel x panel power = total array power	Calculate and confirm total installed array power
2.6	Cold Voc < 90% of MPPT controller max input voltage	Voc_cold = N_s x Voc_STC x (1 + coeff_Voc x (T_min – 25°C)) < 0.90 x V_ctrl_max
2.7	Hot Vmp > MPPT controller minimum tracking voltage	Vmp_hot = N_s x Vmp_STC x (1 + coeff_Vmp x (T_cell_max – 25°C)) > V_ctrl_min
2.8	Derated daily harvest ≥ E_daily: array power x derating x PSH ≥ E_daily	Calculated harvest must exceed Stage 1 daily demand figure
2.9	Both Voc and Vmp checks PASS before MPPT controller is ordered	Criteria 2.6 and 2.7 must both show PASS before procurement proceeds

Stage 3: MPPT Controller Checklist

The MPPT controller stage confirms that the selected controller can accept the array’s output voltage under all temperature conditions, deliver the required charge current after thermal derating, and communicate with the Cerbo GX to enforce BMS charge limits. All checks must pass before the controller is ordered.

#	Criterion	Verification Method	P/F

Stage 5: Inverter-Charger Checklist

The inverter-charger stage confirms continuous and surge capacity, DC voltage window, charge configuration, and AC output quality. The AC input current limit in criterion 5.6 must be verified against the actual generator that will be connected — a correctly sized inverter with an incorrectly set AC input current limit will overload the generator on the first automatic start.

#	Criterion	Verification Method	P/F
5.1	Continuous rating > peak simultaneous load at 75% utilisation	P_peak < inverter_VA x 0.75; e.g. 1,950W < 3,000VA x 0.75 = 2,250VA

Stage 6: DC Wiring Checklist

The DC wiring stage confirms that every cable run satisfies both the thermal and voltage drop constraints simultaneously, every fuse is rated to protect the cable not the load, and the earth bonding has a single point at the inverter. Both constraints must pass for every run — a run that passes thermal but fails voltage drop is not a passing run.

#	Criterion	Verification Method	P/F

6.2	Thermal derating: I_derated = I_rated x f_install x f_bundle x f_temp	Apply all three factors; derated value = thermal constraint minimum cross-section
6.3	Voltage drop: A_min = (ρ x L x I) / V_drop_max	ρ = 0.0175 Ω·mm²/m; L = round-trip length; V_drop = 1% or 3%
6.4	Cable cross-section = larger of thermal and voltage drop requirement	Both constraints must be satisfied; binding constraint governs
6.5	Fuse rating: I_circuit_max < I_fuse ≤ I_cable_derated	Fuse protects cable not load; rating must not exceed cable derated current
6.6	Fuse type: ANL above 80A, MIDI 30-80A, blade below 30A	Verify fuse holder interrupting capacity ≥ battery prospective short circuit current
6.7	String fuses at combiner: 1.25 x Isc per string, individual per string	Individual string fuse per string; protects against reverse current

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this checklist for a commercial system?

Yes. Every stage applies to commercial systems without modification. Commercial systems require additional criteria in Stage 1 for motor load surge analysis and standby load identification, and Stage 5 requires a three-phase inverter configuration check. Refer to how to size an off-grid solar system for commercial buildings for the commercial-specific additions to Stages 1 and 5.

At what stage should I order components?

Stage 2 must be complete before the MPPT controller and panels are ordered — the cold Voc and hot Vmp checks in criteria 2.6 and 2.7 may eliminate the initially selected controller. Stage 5 must be complete before the inverter is ordered — the surge check in criterion 5.2 may require a larger unit or a soft starter addition that changes the inverter specification.

What do I do if a stage fails?

Identify the specific criterion that failed, apply the corrective action from the referenced post, recalculate the affected parameter, and re-verify the criterion before signing off the stage. Do not proceed to the next stage until the failure is resolved. A stage signed off with a known failing criterion is not a signed-off stage it is an undocumented liability.

How long does the checklist take to complete?

Design stages 1 through 5 take approximately 3 to 4 hours at the design table before installation begins. Installation stages 6 and 7 add no time if measurements are taken as each cable run is completed. Commissioning stages 8, 9, and 10 take approximately 2 to 3 hours on site. Total: 6 to 8 hours per installation. The time required to diagnose and rectify one of the ten common mistakes after installation is 4 to 8 hours per callback visit, not including component replacement time or travel.

Conclusion

A checklist is only as useful as the discipline with which it is applied. A checklist completed after installation, from memory, to confirm what was already done rather than to verify what should be done, is an administrative exercise. This checklist is a design tool and a verification tool simultaneously, it prevents mistakes at the stage where they are cheapest to correct, which is always the stage before the next one.

The ten stages in this checklist correspond to the ten areas where the most consequential off-grid system errors are made. Every criterion in every stage was derived from a failure mode documented somewhere in this cluster, a real callback, a real warranty dispute, a real system performing below its specification because one calculation was skipped or one measurement was not taken.

Every post in this cluster is referenced at least once in this checklist. The methodology is complete. The verification framework is complete. The only remaining variable is whether the checklist is used.

For the underlying engineering methodology that each stage in this checklist is built on, refer to the complete cluster index at designing an off-grid power system using lithium batteries, which links to every post in this series.
