6 FAQs about [Photovoltaic panel cable installation requirements and standards]
What are the standards for interconnecting PV systems?
Two standards have been developed by the IEEE aimed at standardizing the requirements for interconnecting PV systems with the serving utility's system: o 1547-2003: Standard for Interconnecting Distributed Resources with Electric Power Systems
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:
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’.
How do I choose the right cabling for my PV system?
Based on the interpretation of IEC standards, and considering factors such as safety, bifacial gains, cable carrying capacity, cable loss, and voltage drop, plant owners can determine the appropriate cabling to ensure safe, stable operation across a PV system’s life cycle.
