There is a difference between installing solar PV in domestic settings and houses with timber, tiles and slate, and installing it in industrial and agricultural buildings where there is steel, water, iron and other electricity conductors. Stray electricity can leak. Are there different specifications for domestic versus industrial and agricultural? I am familiar with technical specification S198, which is a minimum specification for the installation of solar PV systems used by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.
