INSPECTING AND TESTING YOUR PLUG-IN SOLAR INSTALLATION

As part of the G98 on-site commissioning tests you shall carry out a functional check of the loss of
mains protection, for example by removing the supply to the Plug-In Solar kit during operation and
checking that the Plug-In Solar Connection Unit operates to disconnect the Plug-In Solar Kit from
the DNO’s Distribution System.

In the UK the installation of a Plug-In Solar Kit is considered non-notifiable electrical work under
Part P of the Building Regulations 2013, as it is an alteration to an existing installation (the mains
grid).

“Regulation 12(6A) sets out electrical installation work that is notifiable. All other electrical
installation work is not notifiable – namely additions and alterations to existing installations outside
special locations, and replacements, repairs and maintenance anywhere.”

Installation of a non-notifiable Plug-In Solar kit should still be designed, installed, inspected, tested
and certificated in accordance with BS 7671.

For more information on how to do this, you can find a copy of IET Minor Works Certificare here:

COMMISSIONING YOUR PLUG-IN SOLAR INSTALLATION

Once you have installed, inspected and tested your Plug-In Solar kit, it is a requirement that you
complete and return a G98 Engineering Recommendation Form to your Distribution Network
Operator (DNO) within 28 days.

Distribution Network Operators (DNOs) own and operate the distribution network of towers and
cables that bring electricity from the national transmission network to homes and businesses. They
don’t sell electricity to consumers, this is done by the electricity suppliers. Informing the DNO of
your installation allows them to manage the grid more effectively.

There are 9 different DNO’s across the UK, so you must make sure you submit your form to the
correct DNO in your area. You can find your DNO by entering your postcode using this website:
https://www.ssepd.co.uk/Whoismynetworkoperator/

Once you have identified your DNO you must download a G98 Engineering Recommendation
Form from their website (or request that they e-mail one to you).

Completing G98 Engineering Recommendation Form

An example G98 Engineering Recommendation Form can be found in Appendix 3 of this


Installation Manual. Please note G98 forms differ between DNO’s, this is an example only.

The G98 Engineering Recommendation Form is relatively self-explanatory, however there are a
number of sections that you must complete correctly:

Installation Address Details Section


A Meter Point Administration Number,
also (MPAN), is a 21-digit reference
used in the UK to uniquely identify
electricity supply points. You must
correctly fill in your own MPAN in this
section of the form.

Your MPAN can be found on your


electricity bill and often looks like the
image on the left.

SSEG M icro-Generator Details Section


Within the SSEG Details section of the
form, fill in the details of your
installation. The capacity will be the
size of the Plug-In Solar kit you
purchased, i.e. 1kW. The Primary
Energy Source must always be filled
as ‘Solar PV’. If you have any existing
SSEG’s (e.g. wind/solar) you must also
declare these here.

SSEG Installer Details Section


As Plug-In Solar kits are DIY, self
installed solar systems you should
complete this section as the installer.
In the Accreditation/Qualification
section you should fill this in as ‘N/A
(Self-Installed)’, unless you have an
appropriate accreditation. This section
of the form also needs to be signed.

Along with the completed G98 Engineering Recommendation Form, you must also supply the
DNO with the following:

1. An electrical schematic diagram for your installation (A relevant electrical schematic diagram will be
provided with your Plug-In Solar Kit). An example can be seen in Appendix 2.

2. A copy of the G98 Type Verification Test Report Certificate for the Micro-Inverters (This can be
found with the email you were sent with this Installation Manual.)

3. A photograph of your existing electricity meter (be sure to include the make and model of the meter)

Email/Fax/Post the information above to your DNO using the contact supplied on the
Commissioning Form. Do not send it to Plug-In Solar, we cannot apply to the DNO on your behalf.

When the DNO has received your form and it has been processed, you will get a confirmation
email/letter to say it has been accepted.

Notifying the DNO of changes to a Plug-In Solar kit

If during the lifetime of the Plug-In Solar kit it is necessary to replace a major component of the
Plug-In Solar kit, it is only necessary to notify the DNO if the operating characteristics of the Plug-In
Solar kit or the Plug-In Solar Connection Unit have been altered when compared against the unit
that was originally commissioned.

Notifying the DNO of the decommissioning of a Plug-In Solar kit

In the event that a Plug-In Solar kit is to be decommissioned and will no longer operate as a
source of electrical energy in parallel with the DNO’s Distribution System, you must notify the DNO
by completing a G98 Decommissioning Confirmation Form. Please contact your DNO for a copy
of this form.

(“Enphase”) in respect of the products set forth below:

IQ™7-series and IQ6-series microinverters, and microinverters with product SKU C250-
72-2LN-S2 which, in each case, are connected to the internet through an Envoy™ product,
WARRANTYlisted below (each a “Microinverter”);

IQ Envoy, IQ Combiner+, IQ Combiner, IQ Commercial Envoy, Envoy-S Standard, Envoy-


S Metered, or AC Combiner Box (each, an “Envoy”); and

Q Aggregator, Q Commercial Aggregator, Mobile Connect, or Consumption CT;

each a “Covered Product”.

This Limited Warranty applies in addition to statutory rights available to consumers under UK consumer
laws, including under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

If you are a consumer and your Covered Product is defective or does not conform with the contract of
sale, you can choose to make a claim under UK consumer laws or under this Limited Warranty
(whichever is applicable).

We have set out below a summary of UK consumer rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015. This
is not an exhaustive description of the rights available to consumers under UK consumer laws. For
more information about UK consumer laws, contact your local consumer organisation (e.g. your local
trading standards or citizens advice bureau).

UK Consumer Laws

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 automatically introduces certain terms into contracts for the sale of
goods to consumers including, for example, that the goods (i) will match the description given of them,
(ii) will be of satisfactory quality and (iii) will be reasonably fit for any particular purpose made known to
the seller.

If goods are defective or do not conform with the contract of sale, a consumer may be entitled to (i) a
repair or a replacement free of charge, (ii) a discount or (iii) a refund by the seller.

The primary responsibility to provide these remedies will sit with the seller from whom the consumer
purchased the goods. So, if you purchased a Covered Product from a third party reseller and not directly
from Enphase, you would need to contact that reseller in order to make a claim.

For goods purchased in England and Wales, these rights expire six years from delivery of the goods.
For goods purchased in Scotland, these rights expire five years from delivery of the goods.

Limited Warranty

In addition to your rights under UK consumer laws, subject to the terms of this Limited Warranty
(including the limitations and exclusions set out below), Enphase warrants to the Covered Owner (as
defined below) that the Covered Product will be free from defects in workmanship and materials for the
applicable warranty period set forth below (each a “Warranty Period”), provided that the Covered

3. Calculation of the composite error/ MPE

In addition to the accuracy requirements the composite error ec of the meter is shown below

The composite error at a certain load is calculated from the following formula:
2 2 2 2
ec = (I. ) + (T.I. ) + ( .I. ) + ( .I. )

where
2
e (I. ) = Intrinsic error of meter at a certain load
2
e (T.I. ) = Additional error due to variation of the temperature at the same load
2
e ( .I. ) = Additional error due to variation of the voltage at the same load
2
e ( .I. ) = Additional error due to variation of the frequency at the same load
