We carry out wiring checks for rental properties
We have just carried out an ECIR on a bungalow which failed (no gas or water bonding)
Now, someone has installed a solar PV system without any bonding in place (132.16 anyone?)
My main question - do PV installs require a certain type of RCD?
I think the RCD has also been wired the wrong way
The installer has installed a CPN consumer unit for the PV but put a Moeller MCB inside that .
I have a feeling that I will need more info on the inverter to find out which type of RCD is required.
