I have no idea which one is for the solar panels
I have no idea which one is for the solar panels
So I will have to wait until Monday when the electrician arrives to turn them off

Oh and by the way
I just remembered I bought one of these because I thought it could measure dips and surges
It was a desperate attempt to find the problem
However I don't really know how to set it up

The switch labelled solar PV is for the solar PV, nearby you should find an instruction label that tells you how to turn off the solar PV, there should be a local isolator switch labelled AC isolator and another one labelled DC isolator (this may be in the loft or near your inverter), switch off the AC isolator and then the DC isolator, switch off the solar PV circuit breaker
These are simple meters that can tell you how much power you are using at the current time and how much power you have used over a period of time, however it will not indicate anything, at time or provide historical data, about the state of the power supply.
Nought to do with your problem, and probably bottom of your list of things to do, did the electrician say anything about the Wylex mcb in an Eaton CU?
Its a minor issue, but you not should mix different manufacturers products in a CU, unless they say they are compatible. Add it to the list.Mmmm I'm clueless what the heck does that all mean?
Anyway I will add it to my list to ask him when he comes on monday
Theories they are indeed, and with or without theories or headscratching or doing nothing at all-you will still have a blown computer. So theories are not hurting or adding to your problems.It ok to test these theories
