REIP Inspections
Installed systems must pass an REIP inspection, conducted by the REIP Inspector, prior to local code inspection and issuance of an upfront incentive payment and SREC processing.  If a system deficiency is found, the installer must correct the problem and is request a REIP re-inspection.  The goals of the REIP inspections are to:

• Ensure best design and instllation practices are followed
• Ensure systems meet the minimum requirements of the REIP
• Verify consistency of installed systems with specifications provided to the REIP via upfront incentive application forms

Transition from Quality Control to Quality Assurance Process
Currently, 100% of systems installed through the REIP are inspected in a Quality Control (QC) process.  The REIP Inspection protocols will transition from the QC Program to a Quality Assurance (QA)  Program, where a random sample of projects will be inspected, at ratios between 15% and 100%, depending on the type of project and the installer's inspection history.

See the Program Guidebook for additional information.
