Solar PV testing and standards, Seaward on the future of solar energy

We welcomed Christopher Coates from Seaward Group to The Electrical Academy to discuss the growth of solar energy and the role it plays in a more sustainable future.

Why testing standards matter in solar PV

As solar PV becomes more common, correct installation and testing are essential. Regulated guidance helps ensure systems are safe, compliant and able to perform to their potential. This is particularly important as the industry aims to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy efficiency across homes and businesses.

Supporting competence as demand grows

Seaward has contributed to the development and standardisation of installation and testing standards internationally. In this video, we discuss what that means for electricians, why correct test equipment matters, and how the trade can keep pace as solar becomes a bigger part of everyday electrical work.

If you’re exploring solar PV as a pathway, or you’re looking to upskill, staying current with standards and testing practice is a key part of doing the job properly.
