Deligo DSTK Professional Solar PV Installation Tool Kit

Deligo DSTK: Your Essential Professional Solar PV Installation Tool Kit

As a professional solar PV installer, having the right tools is paramount for efficiency, safety, and compliance with stringent UK regulations. The Deligo DSTK Solar Install Tool Kit is expertly curated to provide a complete, high-quality solution for every stage of solar panel installation, from cable preparation to system testing and commissioning. Manufactured by Deligo, a trusted UK-based supplier, this kit reflects real-world experience and the demands of the modern renewables sector.

Comprehensive Tools for Efficient Solar PV System Installation

The Deligo DSTK kit removes the guesswork from tool selection, bundling all necessary equipment into one convenient, robust carrying case. This ensures you have immediate access to specialised tools for making secure, low-resistance connections, crucial for the longevity and performance of any solar array. Each tool is chosen for its durability and functionality, enabling you to tackle domestic and commercial solar projects with confidence.

Key Tools and Technical Specifications for Reliable Connections

This comprehensive kit includes a range of high-performance tools, each designed for specific tasks within a solar PV installation:

• MC4 Ratchet Crimping Tool: Engineered for precise and consistent crimps on MC4 solar connectors, accommodating common cable sizes such as 2.5mm², 4mm², and 6mm². Its high-precision ratchet mechanism ensures a complete crimp with minimal hand effort, critical for maintaining low contact resistance and preventing future faults.
• Solar Cable Strippers: Specifically designed for stripping the double-layer insulation found on solar PV cables (typically 2.5mm² to 6.0mm²). These tools feature precise blade shapes to prevent wire damage and often include adjustable length stops for consistent stripping, essential for accurate connector termination.
• MC4 Spanner Set: Essential for securely tightening and safely loosening MC4 connectors. These spanners are often insulated, providing protection when working with live PV circuits, and are typically rated for high voltages (e.g., 1000V and 1500V DC).
• Professional PV Digital Multimeter: An indispensable tool for verifying correct wiring, measuring open circuit voltage (Voc), short circuit current (Isc), and overall system performance. Our recommended multimeters for solar applications feature high DC voltage ranges (up to 1000V or 1500V), AC/DC current measurement, resistance, and robust safety ratings (CAT III/IV) for high-voltage work.
• Heavy-Duty Cable Cutters: Capable of cleanly cutting PV cables up to various diameters, ensuring a neat and professional finish without fraying.
• VDE Insulated Screwdrivers & Hex Key Set: A selection of VDE-approved screwdrivers for electrical safety, alongside a versatile hex key set for mounting system components.
• Durable Carrying Case: All tools are organised within a hard-wearing case or rucksack for easy transport and protection on site.

Ensuring Compliance with UK Solar PV Regulations

Installing solar PV systems in the UK requires strict adherence to national electrical and building regulations. The tools within the Deligo DSTK kit support compliance with key standards such as the 18th Edition IET Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) and Part P of the Building Regulations, which mandate safe electrical installations. Furthermore, using precise tools for connections helps meet the requirements of the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS), crucial for system performance and eligibility for government incentives.
