[QUOTE="trevor_clark, post: 366425, member: 24677"] Have been reading with interest forum relating to PV connection to CU. I have a 3.5Kw system installed witch is connected though the FIT meter to my 17th edition 10way duel RCD Volex CU to a 16A B MCB on the 63A 30mA RCD side of the board, no other circuits share the MCB. Prior to having the PV system install I planned to put a 6way RCD consumer unit in the garage fed by splitting the supply meter tails and installing a 40A mains switch for isolation purposes. I had run a 10mm T&E cable btw garage and house through floor joist voids for the feed. I now find this would not be served by the PV so I would not benefit from the free electric for garage and shed. I could use a spare way in the house CU and fit a 40A MCB and the 10mm T&E but suspect I should not connect to another RCD CU. I wonder if I could split the cable on the CU side of the FIT meter not sure of the implications of doing this (can the FIT supply two CUs? I would appreciate and advice on this matter.
