[QUOTE="binky, post: 551464, member: 490"] Ideally yes, but I suspect any existing RCD is already protecting other circuits in your house, it would therefore be dangerous to share the RCD with solar aswell. Inverters have a max shutdown time of 5 seconds. So if say you run over the lawnmower cable, your RCD will trip at 30 mAmps in under 0.3 of a second, but your solar will carry on trying to kill you with multiple Amps.... [/QUOTE]
