DC isolators......lockable?

[SolarCity]

Strange ones. The inverter doesn't need to be MCS - it needs to be G83 compliant.

And there is no reason for a DC isolator to be lockable. If you're working on the inverter then you can simply unplug the leads from it. If you are working elsewhere then you can lock off the AC isolator.

Caveat - main DC array switch disconnector needs to be load-break rated. Any other form of DC isolation should not be disconnected under load.....such as connectors.

Awwww this just gets better....now i'm being told my Renusol roof system 'isn't certified to be included in installations that are to comply for the FIT tariff'!!!

:mad2: My head is going to explode!

Specifically what is the mounting kit?

 

[Steve_rutland]

It is a Renusol VarioSole SE kit. I bought it from a solar roofing contracting company.

Your installer is either clueless or trying it on. Try another.

The top of page 36 is what you want.

No reason for DC isolator to lockable and nothing wrong with the mounting system.

Do you think that the installer is referring to the new MCS 012 for mounting rails

Gotta say, in a geeky kind of way, this is actually quite interesting! Am almost at p36 ;-)
Where did you find the info on the roof mount system out of interest? I see it's TUV approved, but that was all i could find.

That is just a part number, not a reg.
If you look at your link it even say's part no...

Steve, you really need to find some better help on this.

Added, sorry you are moving on to the next problem, this is for the DC isolator.

 

[Steve_rutland]

This is my problem. I have spoken to some local installers...hence the above ^^^...have joined here, learnt loads (thanks to all), but ultimately i have to use a local firm for the MCS signoff and am struggling to find anyone who seems to agree with what i have learnt on here.
I see what you mean by the part number now, just the email i got said it was a reg. Brain is scrambled, been up since 4am on an early shift and then bombarded with 'problems' with my existing kit lol.
