6 Frequently Asked Questions about “National installation standards for solar power generation”
Should guidance on solar PV be included in the National Policy Statement?
The solar industry very much welcomes the addition of guidance on solar PV to the National Policy Statement for renewable energy infrastructure. However, there are several provisions which could be strengthened, which we have outlined below.
Should a target for solar generation be included in the NPS?
This equates to roughly 40GW of solar by 2030, and the solar industry body, Solar Energy UK, has demonstrated in its 2021 report “Lighting the Way” that this target is possible. We recommend that a target for solar generation should be included in the NPS.
Do I need a DNO before installing a solar PV system?
If an installer is planning to fit multiple domestic solar PV systems within 500m, it is necessary to make an enquiry to the DNO before installation. They will carry out an impact assessment before offering a grid connection.
What is considered a stand-alone solar PV installation?
llations with a TIC of 250kW or less3.87 A solar PV installation with a TIC of 250kW or less will be classified as stand-alone if it is not wired o provide electricity to a building. If it is wired to provide electricity to a building,
Does the NZS have a generation target for solar?
However, unlike offshore wind, nowhere in EN-3 or the NZS has the Government set a generation target for solar. The Climate Change Committee (CCC) has identified a need to deploy 54GW of solar by 2035 to keep on track to deliver net zero by 2050.
How do I choose a solar PV installer?
It should include an estimate for the annual solar PV generation and an estimate of the level of self-consumption of solar PV at the property. It is sensible to get at least 3 quotes before choosing your installer. Do not select the installer on cost alone as cheaper components may perform worse and have a shorter lifespan.
