(6) Further to question on notice No 704, can the Minister provide (a) an update for quarter one and quarter three and include existing photovoltaic and NexGen battery inspections/failures as well as for the 2021-22 financial year, (b) a breakdown by what the demerit points were received from eg, new photovoltaic installation, battery etc.

Ms Cheyne: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

1. The numbers of inspections completed between 1 November 2021 and 1 November 2022 are as follows:

a) new photovoltaic systems = 6,816

b) battery systems = 2,998

c) additions and alterations = 13,529

d) new electrical installations = 20,661

2. a) There is no set timeframe in which inspections are required. Inspections are undertaken following the submission of the Certificate of Electrical Safety (CES) for the works, which certifies the electrical work has followed necessary standards and guidelines and that this work was performed by qualified electrician. For new photovoltaic installations, the CES allows for the operation and use of the system, and there are no delays to the consumer while the inspection is pending.
