Nov 18, 2022 at 21:30 comment added Harper - Reinstate Monica @KMJ yes, but they often do that work very absentee, delegating essentially all the electrical work to non-qualified personnel. Code allows supervision, but not from such a distance! Result: atrocious work. On another forum we have a guy who's been struggling for a month to get solar signed off by the inspector, because the electrician who is approving drawings has never seen the site and violently insists things are correct, which they would be if field conditions matched the drawing.
