[QUOTE="mokoono, post: 549504, member: 36215"] Our power supply isn't delivered overhead, despite being rural its a large village and I live on an estate. However, I wouldn't be surprised to find there was occasional spike or surge. 1100v sounds crazy high and I would expect other equipment to fail, like my servers, routers, tvs etc. That said, most of them do have a basic surge protector on them. I think I've had such a poor experience with this solar installer I was expecting to find it was something they'd done making it more susceptible. It's sounding more like these strange supply spikes and surges move in mysterious ways, and I could just be unlucky. If only I had access to one of those mains analysers :) I am going to contact them today and see if they are open to installing some surge protection and to confirm they ARE actually replacing the inverter next week. System had been saving us over £100/month recently, last time it failed I was without a working system for over 2 months! Thanks for the advice. [/QUOTE]
