551.4.3.2.1 Flats how to provide earth rod in island mode

DA

So reading the latest regs I take it we are to provide an earth rod in a prosumer setup for island mode supplies.

Any ideas how this works practically in a top floor flat?

    Depending how the flats are wired, earthing needs to be considered as a whole building issue, as the services to many flats are interconnected - the installation origin, and the site of the main MET and any electrode is not in the flat. Co-ordination between leaseholder and free-holder is required, which is often a bit tricky. However, solar panels and so on need this co-operation anyway.
