6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic solar installation standards]

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 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.

What is a solar code of practice?

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.

What if a MCS contractor does not design a solar PV system?

3.1.2 Where MCS contractors do not engage in the design or supply of solar PV systems but work solely as a MCS Contractor for a client who has already commissioned a system design; then the MCS Contractor shall be competent to review and verify that the design would meet the design requirements set out in this Standard and this should be recorded.

What standards are available for the energy rating of PV modules?

Standards available for the energy rating of PV modules in different climatic conditions, but degradation rate and operational lifetime need additional scientific and standardisation work (no specific standard at present). Standard available to define an overall efficiency according to a weighted combination of efficiencies.

Are all PV products covered by IEC61730 'photovoltaic (PV) module safety qualification?

In future it is expected that all PV products will increasingly be covered by International standard IEC61730: 2004 ‘Photovoltaic (PV) module safety qualification’.
