[QUOTE="mokoono, post: 549460, member: 36215"] The power cuts are fairly regular here and the surrounding villages, once or twice a month. I think I read there is some expensive investment needed that they're avoiding. UK Power Networks reported a "high voltage overhead electricity line fault", affected about 1000 homes in an 8 mile radius. I think you're right, it was probably a voltage spike. If the installer won't cover a suppressor, sounds like it might be worth me asking my local electrician to look at that. Just strange that no other equipment was affected and neighbours solar installs are fine, I would expect an inverter to be able to handle a power cut. Maybe this model is particularly sensitive to voltage spikes. Thanks for the suggestion. [/QUOTE]
