The Launderer
In the middle of installing our system for MCS approval on my own house.
I am sure we could have life a little easier if we had chosen a house without rosemary tiles and putting panels in landscape with a cruciform rail system. But I suppose it is better to learn and make mistakes here rather than on a customers house.
I have been going over the DTI requirements for labelling and identification.
Apparently I need to display on site:
PV system schematic
Protection settings & installer details
Emergency shutdown procedure
I can produce the documentation okay - I am just wondering how to display it. Can I put all the required info onto one A4 sheet? The example system schematics kindly provided by members of this forum don't seem to include emergency shut down procedures. Is it okay to add that and installer details onto this?
Would laminating the paper and securing with screws be okay? Where does it get displayed. In my own installation I have put all the new electrics inside a porch above the cupboard containing the meter and consumer unit. Is it okay to display this info inside this cupboard? (maybe on the inside of the cupboard door?)
Both my electrician and myself have been on the PV courses but they just don't go into this sort of detail.
What does everybody else do?
