INTRODUCTION This paper provides an overview of the activities and issues involved in the turnkey provision of 629 x 1kWp grid connected, roof integrated, PV systems.

This made programming extremely hectic at times! The record was 9 arrays installed in one day. Each solar array is installed and wired to junction boxes mounted in the roof cavity at the same time, but it can be several months before power is brought down to the DC isolation switch in the meter box and the inverter installed. . . . . . . high volume water was aimed at the array in every applicable direction with a positive result. Within weeks of the witnessed tests a high wind, high rainstorm hit the site and once again the integration method passed. Thermal tests were also carried out which verified the predicted temperature rise being within the design limits. 4 STANDARDS Quite a few standards apply to the implementation of integrated and grid connected PV.
