Hi people my first post on this forum.
I need advise with a proposed PV installation on my house.
I have a quote with a company to install the system for me which I am quite happy with, the only problem is one of the sub-contractors they use which happens to be the electrician. It is a personal thing and I do not want him on my property. Unfortunatley the PV company only employ this electrician.
In my past life I was/am an electrician, but this is not my line of business today. I am quite capable of installing the AC side of the installation and complying with the 17th regs. I would class myself as a "suitably qualified person". I still have various pieces of test equipment which have up to date calibration.
Reading through the miriad of posts on PV wiring I cannot see much of a problem on doing the work myself, even the PV company are happy with me doing my own work.
I know I going to be “slated” by the “must have qualifiaction paperwork” people, but please be gentle with me!
What would be the “pitfalls” and hurdles that I would have to overcome to stay on the right side of the law?
