Is this up to standards / legal?

[dp123]

Hi - recently had solar installed (March 2025) - installer MCS and NICEIC certified with install arranged under Solar Together scheme. All certs issued (building regs/NICEIC and MCS certs). Just looking for opinions on this install of AC isolator and export meter. Understand it's pretty far from pretty and not exactly of the highest standards of workmanship, but is this legal/compliant with relevant standards? This inside a small cupboard on the outside of house (the cupboard is in the cavity between the outer and inner skins of an external wall) (ignore the random sticker on the corner of the export meter - that will be correctly placed in due course)

it's a bit rough and ready, but not non-compliant as such, bar the last photo should have better protection for the stripped cable.

Looks like a tight place to work in, so its harder to maintain a tidy job, but...

Thanks Binky - good to know it's compliant / safe if not a viable entry for workmanship if the year award. I added a wide angle photo for additional context.

Where is the big cable going?

It isn't compliant those single insulated conductors should not be exposed, it is a lash-up.

That goes to an outbuilding (converted single garage), I'm not quite sure if the exact routing but think it goes underground

Thanks - i understand now (I can be a little slow!). So I guess the question is whether that needs to be fixed or should be fixed. The electrician who installed it (also owner of the solar install company) is somewhat aggressive in communication and dismissive of concerns along with pointing out if anyone does any work in the system their warranty is voided. Just wondering how hard it's worthwhile to push for a resolution....

You give them the opportunity to do a professional compliant job to rectify the issue or tell them you will take it up with the NICEIC and that doesn't mean ramming a load more silicone sealant into it.
