We’ve recently completed the first and second fix of a barn conversion that is off grid with solar PV, batteries and a back up generator.

This was always the case that it was going to be off grid however as we have little experience in working with any off grid systems we specifically said at the start that the final connection would need to be either made or designed by the company fitting solar PV, generator and batteries.

However we’ve come to the end of the job and there has somehow been a miscommunication somewhere and the other company are now not providing any design or connection and the customer has asked us if we can help. Obviously our experience with off grid is virtually zero so to ensure we are doing this correctly with earthing arrangements especially does anyone know of a company that is willing to design this for us?

I’ve spoken to Napit and they said I could try a few companies but after trying them it’s not something the said companies can help with.

We / the customer would be willing to pay for any help / services obviously
