6 FAQs about [Technical requirements for photovoltaic inverter wiring]

What type of inverter do I need for a mains-connected PV system?

Inverters for mains-connected PV systems should be type approved to the Energy Networks Association’s Engineering Recommendation G83/1 (for systems up to 16 A). NICEIC operates a Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) which covers the design installation and testing of environmental technology installation work associated with dwellings.

What are the guidelines for solar PV system sizing?

ms.4. Guidelines for Grid Connected System SizingSolar PV system sizing will be limited by two factors, the amount of physical space available for the installation and the electricity consumption profile of the building (load profile).Current regulations do not provide favourable incentives for systems to fe

What are the requirements for a PV installation?

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.

Are there any UK standards relating to a PV installation?

While many UK standards apply in general terms, at the time of writing there is still relatively little which specifically relates to a PV installation. However, there are two documents which specifically relate to the installation of these systems that are of particular relevance:

What are the installation requirements for a PV array?

Installation requirements are also critically dependent on compliance with the IEC 60364 series (see Clause 4). PV arrays of less than 100 W and less than 35 V DC open circuit voltage at STC are not covered by this document. PV arrays in grid connected systems connected to medium or high voltage systems are not covered in this document.

Should a PV inverter be isolated from the AC?

However, to allow maintenance work to be safely carried out on the inverter a means of isolation should be provided on both the DC and AC side of the inverter (Regulation Group 712.537 refers). In all cases it is essential to ensure that the PV system is securely isolated from the AC installation.
