Thanks for that. Cheers.

Hi, the installer is MCS registered and NICEC registered. I understand your point that the more complaints they receive the more notice they will take, however I believe that complaints from Joe public will carry little weight, how would we know it wasn't correctly installed unless you were a...

"you are asking a lot of questions which are beyond the usual from those expected from the general public, and you appear to be very well informed as to the compliance, not only with BS 7671 but with the stated manufacturer's instructions." I'll take that as a compliment, thanks. I'm only well...

The manual says: "If an external RCD or residual current breaker is strictly required...." Is an RCD required for the PV if the cables are clipped on top of the wall and not in the wall? If an RCD is required how would you go on with a full RCBO board? (Assume for the purpose of the answer...
