Solar PV
MCS-certified solar PV for commercial, rural and domestic properties across Cornwall.
Designed as part of the whole energy system.
Solar PV should work as part of the building or site electrical system, not as a separate piece of technology attached at the end.
Renewable equipment has to be coordinated with the existing supply, distribution, protection and isolation. Cable routes, inverter or charger location, monitoring and future access all influence how well the system works over its lifetime.
Commissioning and clear records are important because renewable systems often develop over time, with storage, charging or additional generation added later.
The electrical details behind solar pv.
The exact scope depends on the existing installation and the way the property or site is used.
Supply & capacity
Review the existing electrical supply and available capacity.
Protection
Coordinate protective devices, isolation and earthing.
Integration
Connect generation, storage or charging into the wider installation.
Commissioning
Test, commission and record the completed system.
Monitoring
Plan access to inverters, controls and monitoring equipment.
Future changes
Leave capacity and information clear for later upgrades.
A clear route through the work.
Site access, electrical condition and project complexity determine the final programme, but the process remains focused on understanding, completing and verifying the work properly.
Assess the property
Review the electrical installation, site constraints and expected energy use.
Design the integration
Plan equipment, cable routes, protection, isolation and connection points.
Install & commission
Complete the electrical work, testing and commissioning.
Handover
Provide the relevant records and explain the finished system.
