# Solar and battery handover record

Record the panel, inverter and battery inventory, manuals and warranties, isolation demonstration and actual electrical, MCS and network evidence handed over. This handover index does not create those issuer documents.

Scope: England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland. Issuer: The named person recording the work; any regulated activities retain their own competence requirements.
Source: [Tradehand record definition](/okf/certificates/solar-battery-handover.md). Checked 2026-10-02.

The structure below is the form as Tradehand implements it — the fields a trader fills in and the certificate renderer prints — not a reproduction of any published model form.
