Hi everyone, excuse my electrical ignorance.

I'm looking at adding a little plug in solar system, two panels and a 800w microinverter.

Doing some reading online, I've seen mention of needing bidirectional RCBO, and others saying it's not needed.

My current setup is in the photos, the older consumer unit in the house, and the newer 5-way one in the shed which was put in about 2018.


There's a few potential locations for the panels, either adding an outside socket to one of the house circuits, or plugging straight in to the existing outside socket on the shed.

Is anything needing changed?

And since we're at it, does anyone on here have a city plumbing trade account, and know if is there any discount on solar?
