    133 kWp PV array installed and all client side work work done.

    The next stage is the grid connection as its an export array, for which ESB-N have requested certs before they will connect it up.

    A CR cert has been issued by the electrician but Safe Electric have told me that it's not a CR cert that is required, its either a AR or a BR but he didn't know which one.

    Any thoughts please?

    Thanks MC *2

    Safe Elec don't know

    RECI doesn't know, his inspector doesn't know.

    The first lad in ESB-N I spoke to said that a Type test cert is also required.

    Who designed this? Who are they liaising with in ESBn? You need proper liaison on this to make sure ESBn are happy with what is in the NC5 form. You will also need on site ‘witness testing’ AFAIK.

    Yeah, that's an unfair swipe. Calahonda52 is a long-standing member of this forum, has given good advice to many posters and I don't appreciate some blow-in venting off just because he's sat in on a Saturday night. I'll ask you to retract that comment and not be such a cock.

    the idea of this forum is that people are free to ask questions, not get criticized. There are far too many bluffers who pretend to know it all. if you have nothing helpful to add please don’t post.

    Well said lads. Calahonda52 has asked for & has given advice on the plumbing forum too. I've never seen him to be rude to someone just for the sake of it.
