Installers are obliged to liaise with the relevant distribution Network Operator
(DNO) in the following manner:
Single installation covered by G83/1 - notification at or before day of
commissioning followed by G83/1 paperwork (G83/1 appendix 3) within 30
days.
N.B. ENSURE THAT MALE AND FEMALE CONNECTORS ARE FULLY AND
SECURELY JOINED.

The d.c. isolator must be double pole and rated for the system voltage and
current maxima as calculated from the PV array. It should be load-break rated.

D.C. Cable
Cables must be rated, as a minimum, to the voltage and current ratings derived
from the PV array. Standard de-rating factors must also be applied (BS 7671).
Cables should be sized such that overall voltage drop at stc between the array
and the inverter is <3%

A.C. cables are to be specified and installed in accordance with BS 7671. The
a.c. cable connecting the inverter(s) to the consumer unit should be oversized
to minimise voltage drop. A 1% drop or less is recommended.
Lightning Protection
Where there is a perceived increase in risk of direct strike as a consequence of
the installation of the PV system, specialists in lightning protection should be
consulted with a view to installing a separate lightning protection system in
accordance with BS 6651.
