[QUOTE="binky, post: 527741, member: 490"] Can't actually remember reading the CoP, or at least not for many years. One thing that is a consideration for me, is the not putting solar systems on RCDs, and certainly not sharing an RCD with any other circuit. I have found some inverters 'chatter' the AC relays on start up and shut down in a way that can trip some RCDs. There is basically not a lot gained by having solar supply on an RCD except where essential such as a TT earthing system, as most systems are retro-fitted cable runs ae usually surface, or within cavities where cabling is unlikely to suffer damage from screws, ie deeper than 50mm away from an internal surface.
