Course details
This CIBSE-accredited CPD equips M&E consultants with the knowledge required to deliver shared solar solutions in apartment buildings.
The session compares the complexities of traditional, space-intensive PV installations for flats with the simplified approach offered by shared solar systems.
It explores how a solar PV sharing device can:
- Simplify M&E design and installation.
- Overcome space, electrical, and regulatory challenges.
- Enable tailorable kWp allocation to resolve specific flat-level EPC discrepancies.
- Boost SAP scores and uplift EPC ratings.
—all while upholding best-practice fire and electrical safety.
Real-world applications are reviewed, demonstrating how shared solar integration supports clients with their low-carbon and net-zero goals.
By the end of this session, participants will:
-
Understand the regulatory requirements for PV in apartment buildings.
-
Learn how shared solar simplifies M&E design in large buildings (>6 flats).
-
Design shared solar systems for equitable, scalable and efficient PV distribution.
-
Learn best practices for electrical, fire safety, and DC cabling.
-
Navigate DNO/G99 applications and technical limitations of shared systems.
