    .....and just to clarify....

    There is nothing wrong with designing and installing a supply capacity of 20A ( or any other suitable figure) in it's entirety. What is not acceptable is just uprating the mcb without ensuring it is the correct value.

     That is why the initial installation and any changes  need to be done by a competent person to ensure correct operation, compliance with regs, safety and compliance with insurance cover. For England and Wales ( other jurisdictions differ) that means it is not a DIY job, however easy one might think the job is.

    I have more or less given up with getting a local electrician (qualified for this) and have today been speaking to sustainable energy in Washington. Replace breakers or whole new inverter

    Two / three heads are better than one. The options seem to be to pay sysenergy to check out the breakers, either the internal functions thereof or if there is some external source responsible, rodents, water or whatever.   And/or replace with the replacement breakers that I have purchased. Or go straight for a new inverter [Aurora?] which no doubt they would be happy to install for me.
