The BCJ Solution
When you have a large solar system connecting to the grid, the utility requires special precautions to keep the grid safe. For that you need a 'Grid Protection System' - it is what stands between your solar system and the electricity grid. BCJ Controls helps solar installers navigate the grid connection process to get the system on-line.
We start by supplying a design for the Grid Protection System to use to apply to the utility (aka. DNSP) including information about the network protection relay or zero export device.
Throughout the approval process we work with the utility and answer any questions they may have about the grid connection.
Once it’s approved we build the grid protection unit which comes with everything the utility needs to get the installation over the line. Being sparkies ourselves, we make it easy for the installer by having inverter connections inside the unit, so all they have to do is run the cables straight to the unit from the inverters.
Lastly we work with the utility and installer to organise the witness testing of the job to get it ticked off and powered up.
