Oh sorry the mains side, the DC stuff is pretty self explanatory and comes with the kit.I think you just treat it as a radial addition is that right.....for the PV install or the mains side of it???
In addition to an Electrical Installation Certificate made out for an Addition, you also need to issue an Array test Report. In terms of Part P your work is notifiabe and if this is a grid tied PV system then you need to advise your supplier as the revenue meter belonging to them may be affected and you may well be prosecuted for "stealing" electricity.
Remember your whole Installation must now comply with the 17th Edition as well
Good luck and have a look at the best practice guide issued by Elecsa and endorsed by Industry
I assume you have installed a new 16amp radial circuit for the P.V system? I believe all we (Electrician's) have to inspect/test/certify in this type of installation is the newly installed circuit from the D.B to the Isolation point (rotary isolator) to where the Inverter is connected too. The company who physically installs the P.V system and once connected to the Isolator then verify the DC side of the install.
No real training needed just common sense really,I think the roofing lads had more problems than meDid you receive any training before installing the PV system?
