Solar Installation
We specialise in horticultural PV installations and floating PV systems, as well as standard commercial installations and repairs.
Solar technology is hugely varied, with different options depending on the installation.
We ensure our clients get the most efficient system, expertly installed to prevent failures or faults.
Solar is not ‘fit and forget’. BS 62446-2:2020 covers the periodic inspection and verification of solar PV systems. This prevents loss of output, which can be as much as 50%.
As the number of rooftop solar installation systems has grown over the years, so has the number of reported incidents of fires. Household fires started by electrical faults in rooftop solar PV systems have been reported in the UK, Australia, the USA and France – among others. The periodic testing of the electrical cabling and components associated with solar PV systems will ensure the safe operation of the system and reduce the potential fire risk associated with any electrical faults. Secondly, most domestic systems are a single string, meaning if one panel develops a fault, the rest will be reduced to that level. So, for example, if a 60-cell solar panel has a fault and only 30 cells are generating, thus operating at 50%, then the entire string will operate at 50%.
This will significantly impact the generation of electricity and needs to be identified quickly and resolved.
Periodic testing is essential to maintain the operation of your PV system.
The same applies to commercial installations with multiple strings on a system.
EV Charging
Here at Lightouch Solutions, we offer installation and testing of EV charge points in the workplace, with options for both overground and underground car parks.
Grant funding is available through the Electric Vehicle Home Charge Grant (EVHS) or Workplace Charging Grant (WCS).
