[QUOTE="binky, post: 509614, member: 490"] you could use RCD as the 'main switch' and add suitable MCB for the cct. Can't remember if this is single or 3 phase? If it's single phase you should be abe to find an RCBO. One thing not to do, is share any RCD in the house with the solar system, give the solar it's own RCD protection. If I remember rightly your inverter is in a shed next to the house, so you are coming off the board, through a wall and into shed? In which case , if you have run cable in a suitable way (ie not plastered into a wall at less than 50mm deep ) then as this is fixed equipment and you can't plug a lawn mower in, you don't need RCD at all.
