The guideline is intended to standardise the installation of Rooftop Solar PV in South Africa in the absence on national standards covering such systems.  It explains the basics of electricity generation, Solar PV components, planning and sizing of the Solar PV installation. Other general guidelines are presented on working from heights, recurring duties and appropriate example installations. This therefore presents a detailed overview for everyone who is involved in the planning, installation, operation and maintenance of PV systems. The Solar PV Installation Guidelines are aligned with the National Solar PV Service Technician Qualification and assists the Solar PV installer to use international best practices when installing and maintaining grid-tied Solar PV systems (South African Photovoltaic Industry Association).
