Solar Cable PV1-F in ducting underground.

GAVINBAYLISS

I am renovating and extending a rural property  and am  planning on getting a "my energy libbi" battery and solar system installed once the 3 phase modal and an installer is available. Due to space and planning restrictions the only suitable place to house these is in a plantroom/outbuilding detached from the main property.

I wish to install all cabling work in a series of ducts  between the main property and the out building in the coming weeks.  Are Solar Cable PV1-F suitable for burial in the ground? They will be in flexible service duct. Obviously these cable have no earthed metallic covering but these DC solar cables do not relay on ADS as a method of protection.

Any suggestions gratefully received.

    Are the PV panels on the main house - and the inverter built into the battery system, in the outbuilding?

    If so would there be a great loss of efficiency to have a conventional inverter in the house and charge the batteries from a.c.? It would simplify the cabling (and possibly metering too, if you ever wanted to charge the batteries from the grid).

    thanks for the reply. My preference would have been to have had the plantroom attached to the main house  due to rural planning  rules this was not permitted as well as leaving us with little internal space for the invertor. this has also meant heat pump/ biomass buffer tank all going in the out building.
