    Solar tripping double pole rcbo - Generation Meter Issue?

    Any suggestions, all cables are fine, was moved from a single pole rcbo to a double pole yesterday and I think appears to be something to do with the generation meter as this is the only issue in between. Does the system have to be on a single pole rcbo?
