DIY solar — looking for PV array test report Discussion ThreadDIY solar — looking for PV array test report Electrical Advice
I did a DIY solar install without appreciating the need for building regs. Yep that was daft, but here we are.
Hopefully will get the structural side sorted out.
On the electrical side, building control are asking for an 'electrical certificate/report regarding the electrical installation and connection of the panels', which is a bit too vague for my liking, but I'm thinking translates into a PV Array Test Report.
Amazing if someone happens to have a contact (Cambridge area, UK). But main thing I'm looking for advice on is:
Is it reasonable to assume the PV Array Test Report is what is needed? (It isn't the inverter circuit that's wanted — have already got that bit Part P'ed.)
And, it the sort of thing that can be asked for? Of course, one can ask for anything! But being realistic, is it the sort of thing that can be asked for separate from the panel install? (I am a bit worried that I'll be asking for something that, in practice, can't really be done.)
