This Code of Practice sets out the requirements for the design,

specification, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance

of grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) systems.

Key safety considerations in the protection and earthing of PV systems

mounted on buildings and on the ground is covered in detail. It also

contains requirements for commissioning, monitoring and maintenance

throughout the lifetime of an installation. It is an invaluable resource

for technicians and supervisors who may be responsible for overseeing

solar PV systems deployment.

This second edition provides updated information to ensure that a solar

PV system is designed, competently installed and safe to operate in

compliance with current national and international standards - including

alignment to BS 7671:2018+A2:2022 and other relevant industry standards
