virge got a reaction from Ingo in New House Wiring?For my install to materialise it took the knowledge and kindness of Jacques Schickerling who answered all my questions and a months of planning, then gettiung the parts, making the boards another 2 weeks. The installation took me 3 days, the hardest part was to transfer the back-up circuits from the old DB. The parts are not cheap but worth it because now I can install any inverter in less than 2 hours. You never know when trouble strikes. In my case the loong direct lightning strike on my roof, I had an ark on the roof for more than 7 seconds, flames and sparks everywhere, inverter completely fried also all my 12 x PVs damaged. It took me less than a minute to bypass the inverter and less than 2 hours to install the new inverter.

They don't make it easy. I guess your choice is the best option.

virge got a reaction from PaulF007 in Panel EarthingHello guys,
My nightmare ended. The insurance paid but partially. I advise all of you with solar power systems to contact your insurance asap.
In my case it turned out I was underinsured. I always had the impression that the buildings should be covered for the market value like a car but I was wrong. A house has to be insured for the replacement value. Also be sure you have contents cover which is not for theft as I thought but for replacement of contents if they get damaged by lightning for example. It is good to ask your insurance to send someone to check if you are properly covered.
Cheers
