[QUOTE="borneo, post: 520361, member: 34228"] Hello I’m new to the forum (posting on it anyway). I could do with some advice... Over the last 2 years I have been subcontracted (labour only) to commission solar PV systems. Often these are newbuild properties and when I get there the panels are already on and the DC cabling done. There is a potential issue with the DC cabling ( I.e. that it is not properly mechanically protected and is sometimes within 50mm of the finished wall surface - see my other thread for details - Flexible steel conduit as mechanical protection - I have tried repeatedly to get the main contractor responsible for the cabling to notify their certification body to get an answer as to whether the installations need to be fixed as this is a safety issue – but no joy. They say they have spoken to their MCS inspector who says they have no problem with it. I have no written proof of this and they won’t even tell me who it is. So does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to go forward with this? Who are the correct body to inform? I feel it would be wrong to drop it at this stage as there is a potential danger to the householders... [/QUOTE]
