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.
A year later, the Climate Change and Sustainable Energy Act 2006 brought microgeneration systems like solar panels under the umbrella of the Building Regulations. You should receive a building regulations certificate, known as a completion certificate, for your solar panel system.
Your solar panel system must comply with building regulations in terms of structural integrity, electrical safety and fire safety. These regulations may vary depending on the size and type of the installation. It's advisable to work with accredited installers who are familiar with these requirements.
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.
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.
Here’s a breakdown of the key requirements: Earthing: Minimize the risk of electric shock by ensuring conductive parts of the system are at or near earth potential. Provide a path for fault currents to flow safely in case of an electrical fault. Earthing Arrangements: Section 712 doesn’t mandate a specific earthing arrangement.
