This Code of Practice sets out the requirements for the design, specification, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Key safety considerations in the protection and earthing of PV systems mounted on buildings and on the ground is covered in detail.
If an installer is planning to fit multiple domestic solar PV systems within 500m, it is necessary to make an enquiry to the DNO before installation. They will carry out an impact assessment before offering a grid connection.
It also contains requirements for commissioning, monitoring and maintenance throughout the lifetime of an installation. It is an invaluable resource for technicians and supervisors who may be responsible for overseeing solar PV systems deployment.
It also describes the commissioning tests, inspection criteria and documentation expected to verify the safe installation and correct operation of the system. It is for use by system designers and installers of grid connected solar PV systems as a template to provide effective documentation to a customer.
In future it is expected that all PV products will increasingly be covered by International standard IEC61730: 2004 ‘Photovoltaic (PV) module safety qualification’.
(c) solar PV or solar thermal equipment is removed as soon as reasonably practicable when no longer needed. B. The installation, alteration or replacement of stand-alone solar for microgeneration within the curtilage of a dwellinghouse or a block of flats.
