I have been forced to forgo my international fashion modelling career and judging the Pekinise gate jumping trials in Scunthorpe, to install a grid tied inverter. I suddenly realised that I don't know anything about them beyond the theoretical. Apparently the system is a 5kW one.
Private solar panels are to be installed on a barn roof in the open flat countryside. Horses live in the barns/stables. The barns have a sub-main fed from a farm house TT earthed. Two residential caravans are located next to the barns. The barn owners are going to install the solar panels. I am required to just wire up the grid tied inverter.
Do I just bung in a B16 into the submain board, and a couple of isolators and hope for the best?
Do I need to consider lightning protection, S.P.D.s etc?
P.S. We get lots of flying insects in our homes in the sticks. Tip: If using a hanging sticky flypaper, do not hang it below head height above your desk chair. I should know.
