PLACING WARNING LABELS
When installing a Plug-In Solar kit you must place labelling at the Plug-In Solar Connection
Unit, Existing Consumer Unit and at all points of isolation between the Plug-In Solar
Connection Unit and the Solar Panels within your premises. This is to indicate the presence
of a Small Scale Embedded Generation installation (SSEG). The labelling should fixed in place to
ensure that it remains legible and secure for the lifetime of the installation. The following labels must
be used and have been provided with your Plug-In Solar kit.
Dual supply labelling should be placed at the
Plug-In Solar Connection Unit between the
PV system and Existing Consumer Unit to
indicate the presence of on-site generation
and indicating the position of the main A.C
switch disconnector.
An APS Inverter should be labelled stating
"Inverter - isolate A.C. and D.C. before carrying
out work". The Micro-Inverters also have this
warning label as standard.
An AC isolator Label should be placed next
to the Plug-In Solar Connection Unit and all
other
AC
switches/disconnects
(if
applicable). ON and OFF positions should
be clearly labelled.
To ensure the Fire and Rescue Service are
aware that Solar is installed on the roof the
following sign shall also be fitted
next to the
existing consumer unit in the building. You do
not need this label for Ground Mount systems.
In addition to this safety labelling, you must also display an electrical schematic diagram next to the
existing consumer unit in the property. You will have been provided with an electrical schematic
diagram relevant to your kit, but can see an example in Appendix 3. Please note the diagram in
Appendix 3 is non-prescriptive and is for illustrative purposes only.
