[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 545115, member: 6969"] Leakage is normally measured in Mega Ohms, so 1 Mega Ohm might be the target in the regs where you are . If the electrician found high leakage in the outside sockets and lights he should have disconnected them and tried again. The high leakage might be due to damp getting in, but silicone on it's own won't immediately solve that. It might stop water getting in again if the fittings have been properly dried out and good readings restored. It sounds like you need a better electrician, if only to disconnect the things causing high leakage to get your solar connected and working and you can worry about fixing those high leakage things later.
