Requirements for Photovoltaic (PV) Generators (currently in development by IEC TC 82) – will set out general installation and safety requirements for the PV equipment. The Scope of Section 712 in BS 7671:2008 includes PV power supply systems including systems with a.c. modules but, currently, excludes any form of battery storage.
Follow along with the essential steps of photovoltaic systems installation, from mounting solar modules and connecting to the grid, to commissioning and regular maintenance for optimal performance.
Virtually all domestic PV installations will fall under the scope of Part P. Part P requires the relevant Building Control department to be notified and approve the work. There are two routes to comply with the requirements of Part P: Notify the relevant Building Control department before starting the work.
From the outset, the designer and installer of a PV system must consider the potential hazards carefully, and systematically devise methods to minimise the risks. This will include both mitigating potential hazards present during and after the installation phase.
A PV system is an additional source of supply, so both the mains supply and the PV supply must be securely isolated before electrical work is performed on the installation.
The installation phase of photovoltaic (PV) systems is a critical step that involves several key activities to ensure the system operates effectively and safely. Here’s a more detailed look at what this phase entails:
