If the inverter is the transformerless type then these can cause nuisance RCD trips. Often, giving the inverter its own RCBO - so it has the full 30mA ''allowance'' for earth leakage - can remedy the problem and avoid blacking out the house. Also check to see if the frames holding the panels or the panels themselves are bonded back to the MET.

6 FAQs about [Leakage from the outside interface of the solar panel]
Why does my roof leak after installing solar panels?
There are various reasons your roof could leak after installing solar panels. They mostly have to do with poor installation where mounting holes are not sealed properly, the top is incompatible with solar panels, or the roof is old and not designed for solar panels.
Can solar panels be installed on a roof?
Most modern roofs are compatible and able to withstand the installation of solar panels, but in some cases, the roof material is susceptible to leaks. If your roof is made from clay, terracotta, wood shingles, or slate, there is an increased risk of leaks developing through the installation.
What causes a roof leak?
There could be any number of causes for a leak, including damage caused by walking on the roof, dragging solar panels, or having a tile break in the underlayment. These are not issues you can resolve yourself, and since your warranty would cover these issues, your first call should be to your installer.
How are solar panels installed?
Solar panels are installed by mounting them to a racking system, which requires holes drilled in the roof to secure it. There are several components of a solar panel installation. Aside from the electrical elements such as wiring and connection boxes, the mounting brackets holding the roof panels are a primary factor.
Can composite shingles be hidden under solar panels?
Since composite shingles will be invisible as they are hidden away under the solar panels, there will be no impact on the roof’s aesthetics or the home, and you can rest assured that there will be no leak issues once this is complete.
How do you install solar panels on a roof?
To install the mounting brackets, holes are drilled into the roof and usually into the rafters, and these holes are made for the lag bolts that secure the racking system upon which your solar panels are mounted. Depending on the type of material your roof is made from, the size and depth of the holes will vary.
