This happened to an inspector. The inspection was for solar. The inspector was met but the owner. The owner opened the garage door and there sat everything ... racking, panels, inverter, etc. The owner asked the inspector to verify that everything that would be required was present.
The inspector told the owner that he should ask the contractor to do that. The owner told the inspector that there is no contractor and it is an owner/builder project. The owner told the inspector that it is the inspector's job to explain how to install the PV system. The inspector said that he does not have that kind of time to spend on a job and it is not his responsibility. The owner ask the inspector to come on weekends.
