My garage is 10m from the house and has south facing roof, my house does not!
Had a solar chap around and he thought the garage would be perfect for a new installation, asked if the garage has it's own CU, which it does, a small one.
After he left, it occurred to me that the Garage CU is connected to the ring main of the house, not the main CU on its own MCB. Basically on a spur from the lounge. This was as per new build in 2000 so must have been up to building regs.
The Main CU has a MEMERA 2000 MCB B32 ALB321 32AMP 6k CIRCUIT BREAKER feeding the ring main.
Will this work? A concrete patio between the house and garage otherwise makes new cabling back to main CU a nightmare/not really viable anymore.
