You can put a 32 amp single phase plug on your power box instead for two 15 amp plugs. That's what I have done on my little cabin and it works a treat.

At the moment, the RCD switch is tripping out. I'm not sure if it's the generator or the switch riring.

@@alanvaleandthelazyfarmer1930 For the generator to function it will need a floating neutral, you'll need to make some adjustments. Both the switchboard and the generator typically come with a neutral-to-earth bond, but for a floating neutral setup, you'll need to disconnect the generator's neutral from its ground. This modification might be detailed in the generator's manual, or you could consult a qualified electrician to perform the adjustment safely. After removing the neutral-to-earth bond on the generator, it can still operate as a standalone unit, but it will not be safe to do so. The generator should only be used when connected to the switchboard to ensure safety. You might also be able to install an isolation transformer victron make them 3600w 7000w. And yes they are charging customers for excess solar its called a sun tax if you want to check it out.

@@sparkletornado5890 My next step is to find an electrician. Perhaps it's possible to break that connection with a switch that I can turn on or off? In any case, I will need professional help. Thanks for the tip.

Don't let Wasted Power put in your system. You will now always be paying for power that should have been free. So easy to put your own systems in people.
