6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic panel process requirements and 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 are PV standards?

The standards series has been recognized by the World Bank and the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). Such standards also serve as the basis for testing and certification of components, devices, and systems. Two of the IEC Conformity Assessment Systems deal with PV parts, systems and installations.

nsure provisions are made for a competent person to carry these out, as necessaryAs with other installed technology and appliances (for example, domestic and commercial boilers), all solar PV systems need professional inspection and mainten nce to identify and resolve technical and other pr

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.

Do I need a building regulations approval for a PV system?

Building Regulations approval may require the product to have passed the wind uplift, water penetration and spread of flame tests (see section 2.1.1.2). These will usually be applicable only where the PV is integrated into the fabric of the building.
