Brian Probably worth starting here if nowhere else -http://www.microgenerationcertification.org/installers This is the UK certification for micro generation of power, and has info on the relevant standards, including when you track them through, the safety and other requirements for PV cells and systems
This book is also worth a look as it has a lot of info & good advice on PV installations :" Solar Electricity Handbook 2011: A Simple Practical Guide to Solar Energy - Designing and Installing Photovoltaic Solar Electric Systems" by Michael Boxwell. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1907670041/ref=fxm_em_sub_o I bought it to see the pros & cons of having a PV installation on the roof. Points out a number of the hazards and potential pitfalls in PV installations. I am quite impressed by the content, but have not yet decided whether I am going down this route!
