The logic of the words in the phrase suggests that the PCC is where the energy from the solar system first comes in contact with the energy from the grid, so that would be the circuit-breaker board. However, I thought I would ask the question in case the answer turns out to be "the meter box" or "both" or "it depends".

Learn MoreTake a look at the service panel. The breakers should be all lined up in a row in the 'ON' position. If not your circuit breaker is tripping and causing the solar panel to trip. Also, remember to check if the inverter is working properly. Sometimes inverter glitch triggers this issue. More about inverters will be discussed in later sections.
One of the main problems is with the conductors of solar panels that are mounted on frames. If the conductors are broken, not up to standard values, or installed in the wrong way it may cause problems with electrical flow. This will in turn cause the circuit breaker to trip.
A tripped breaker is a common headache for solar users. If your solar inverter trips the circuit breaker, it's often due to an overload or a short circuit. Solution: Inspect the breaker for signs of damage or wear. Confirm that the inverter's load doesn't exceed its rated capacity. Ensure proper grounding to prevent electrical faults. 5.
If above is correct - I would suggest that the solar pv breaker is seperated from the main consumer unit. Get a small garage board fitted connecting directly into the tails prior to the consumer unit via a henley block. This is isolate the tripping problem from the household circuits.
Depending on the design of the electronics within the inverter it is possible that a leakage to earth from the panel could result in a trip. One way of determining this would be to switch off the isolator for the PV and see if you get any more trips, if that cures the issue the solar system in some way looks like the culprit.
And if all of this fails be sure to contact your solar panel provider for more help. And as always, I hope this article has provided you with valuable insights regarding solar panel issues and successfully resolved your problem. Solar Panel Tripping Out is a common problem. It often cause various problems and safety issues.
