[QUOTE="wizzer, post: 273370, member: 19644"] Hi, thanks for the reply. Due to the advice and discussions on this forum I raised the issue of the PV being on the RCD side with the installer who could see where I was coming from so contacted the MCS inspector for clarification, the inspector said it was ok to be on the RCD side ...I'm sure the reasoning for this was the same as discussed in this thread: [URL="http://www.talk.electricianforum.co.uk/photovoltaic-panels-pv-solar-panels-green-energy-forum-wind-turbines-renewable-energy/20034-definitive-answer-r-e-disconnection-times-final-circuits-pv-inverters.html"]http://www.talk.electricianforum.co.uk/photovoltaic-panels-pv-solar-panels-green-energy-forum-wind-turbines-renewable-energy/20034-definitive-answer-r-e-disconnection-times-final-circuits-pv-inverters.html[/URL] From what I have read I can see why the PV shouldn't be on the RCD side of a CU that is supplying other circuits...I agree with that ...but in reality how can I (Joe public) stand there and tell the installer ("The professional") how to do their job, especially as the MCS inspector is telling him that it's correct to put it on the RCD side ? I had a good discussion with the installer who understood the point I was making, however the inspector is telling him it should be on the RCD side so he is doing what he has been told to do....if he puts the PV on the non RCD side it won't be in line with what the inspector has instructed...no win situation. for the installer isn't it! Any advice on the RCBO board? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
