Hi,
My mate has a flat which has a solar PV install - he's tripped the RCD today changing a light fitting and now there is no electric at all to the flat after the RCDs have been switched back on.
The meter itself has no electricity to it at all either.
The SunnyBoy inverter has a fault light flashing and says 'disturbance' - after a quick google I see these things will shut down in these circumstances to stop power being fed into the grid/house but do they shut off the mains supply also?
He has a spark coming round soon but I'm just interested, seems wrong for the install to shut off all electric anytime a fuse is tripped?
If not is it a problem at the meter itself?
