Site-Specific RAMS for Every Solar PV Job
No two installs are the same — different roofs, different DNO requirements, different access constraints. RAMSGen gives you a proven Solar PV template you can make site-specific in minutes, so you meet principal contractor requirements without starting from scratch every time.
Why Generic Solar RAMS Get Rejected
Solar PV work sits at the intersection of electrical, roofing, and lifting operations. Principal contractors and insurers want to see hazards that match the actual job — not a copied Word doc.
DC String & LOTO Complexity
Solar strings are live in daylight. RAMSGen's template includes pre-built Lock-Out Tag-Out controls, isolation verification steps, and Electricity at Work Regulations references that match your actual commissioning sequence.
Working at Height on Every Job
Whether it's a domestic pitched roof, a flat commercial deck, or a ground-mount, each site needs its own WAH plan. The template prompts you for roof type, access method, fragile surface controls, and a rescue plan — all the sections a PC will check.
Battery Storage Add-On
ESS installs introduce new hazards — thermal runaway, fire plans, and specific isolation requirements. RAMSGen includes a battery/ESS addendum so BESS projects don't need a separate document.
Built Around How Solar Installers Actually Work
RAMSGen's Solar PV template reflects real UK install workflows — from scaffold erection through to DNO notification — so you're not editing out irrelevant sections.
Reuse Across Domestic & Commercial
Create one base template and reuse it across domestic rooftop, commercial flat-roof, and ground-mount projects. Change only the site-specific sections each time — address, access method, roof condition, DNO details.
Pre-Built LOTO & Electrical Controls
DC isolation, LOTO procedures, absence-of-voltage testing, and string-open-circuit controls are all pre-populated from the template. No more rewriting the same electrical safety section job after job.
G98 / G99 & MCS References
DNO notification steps, G98/G99 submission checkpoints, and MCS commissioning requirements are embedded in the method statement, so nothing gets missed at sign-off.
Working at Height Module
Scaffold-to-TG20:21, MEWP, fall restraint, and roof ladder controls are pre-loaded. The template prompts you to specify the actual access method and rescue plan for each job — the section most often challenged by PCs.
Battery / ESS Addendum
For jobs including battery storage, enable the ESS addendum to add thermal runaway controls, fire plan references, CO₂ extinguisher requirements, and specific isolation procedures without a separate document.
Worker QR Sign-On
Operatives scan a QR code to confirm they've read the site-specific RAMS before starting. Digital sign-on records replace paper sheets and satisfy the pre-start briefing requirement in your checklist.
Test Log & String Data Template
Append a string test log for voltage/current readings, insulation resistance, polarity, and RCD functional tests. All in one pack — no separate spreadsheet.
Asbestos & Fragile Roof Prompts
Pre-2000 building? Fragile rooflights? RAMSGen prompts you to record survey status, mark fragile zones, and specify crawling boards or roof ladders as a required control — the details that prevent serious incidents.
From Template to Site-Specific RAMS in Minutes
Start with Your Solar PV Template
Open the Solar PV & Renewable Energy Installations template. It comes pre-loaded with every significant hazard category — WAH, DC/AC electrical, manual handling, fragile roofs, lifting, COSHH — so you're not building from a blank page.
Add Your Site Details
Input the project address, roof type, access method, DNO references, and any ESS components. RAMSGen prompts you through every site-specific variable, including asbestos survey status for pre-2000 buildings.

Solar PV RAMS Questions
Yes — principal contractors and CDM 2015 require RAMS to be site-specific. A generic document won't satisfy a pre-start check because it won't reflect your actual roof type, access method, or isolation points. RAMSGen lets you reuse a master Solar PV template and update only the site-specific fields each time, which takes minutes rather than hours.
Yes. The Solar PV template includes an ESS/BESS addendum covering thermal runaway, fire plan requirements, CO₂ extinguisher provision, and the specific LOTO procedures for battery systems. It's part of the same document rather than a separate file.
Yes. G98/G99 application and approval steps, DNO commissioning notification, and metering arrangement fields are embedded in the method statement so you can't miss them at sign-off.
Yes. The template is structured to cover domestic pitched roofs, commercial flat decks, and ground-mount arrays. You select the relevant access method and roof type for each job and the controls update accordingly.
The template references MCS solar PV training as a required competency and includes the commissioning and test documentation framework that supports MCS certification. Always verify current MCS scheme requirements with your certification body.
RAMSGen documents are structured to meet the rigorous approval standards expected by Tier 1 and house-builder clients. They include all the sections a PC will check — WAH plan, rescue plan, LOTO, fragile roof controls, test records, and permit references.
