The WME10-SOL1 Solar Consumer Unit is a factory-assembled solar PV consumer unit designed for domestic single-phase solar panel installations. Combining circuit protection, local isolation and generation metering in one enclosure, it provides a practical installer-ready solution for dedicated solar PV circuits.
Supplied complete with a 20A RCBO, 32A rotary isolator and integrated kWh meter, this compact consumer unit for solar panels helps reduce on-site wiring time while keeping installations neat, clearly separated and easier to commission.
Installer note: Using a dedicated solar PV consumer unit helps keep generation circuits clearly separated from the main domestic board and can simplify testing, isolation and future maintenance.
- Factory-assembled solar consumer unit – reduces on-site assembly and wiring time
- 20A RCBO included – dedicated protection for the solar PV circuit
- 32A rotary isolator fitted – safe local isolation for maintenance and testing
- Integrated kWh meter – built-in solar generation monitoring
- 10-way enclosure – compact format for domestic solar installations
- Dedicated solar PV board layout – keeps generation equipment separated from the main consumer unit
- Installer-ready configuration – suitable for faster, cleaner solar panel installations
Why Use a Dedicated Solar Consumer Unit?
A dedicated solar PV consumer unit provides a clear separation between the property’s main electrical installation and the solar generation circuit.
For installers, this can simplify isolation, testing and future maintenance while keeping the solar equipment clearly labelled and easier to manage. It also creates a cleaner setup where RCBO protection, local isolation and generation metering are all grouped within the same enclosure.
The WME10-SOL1 is designed specifically for domestic solar panel systems where a compact, ready-to-install PV board is preferred over building a configuration manually on site.
Planning Future Upgrades?
The WME10-SOL1 is best suited to solar-only installations where no additional low-carbon circuits are planned.
If the property is likely to add an EV charger, battery storage or heat pump later, an expandable consumer unit with spare usable ways may be the better long-term choice.

What is this solar consumer unit used for?
This unit is used as a dedicated solar PV consumer unit for domestic installations, combining protection, local isolation and generation metering in one enclosure.
Does this unit include an isolator?
Yes. It includes a 32A rotary isolator for safe local isolation of the solar PV circuit.
Does this solar consumer unit include an RCBO?
Yes. A 20A RCBO is included for circuit protection, making it suitable for solar-only board configurations where the rating matches the installation.
Is metering included?
Yes. An integrated kWh meter is included for monitoring solar generation.
Is this supplied pre-wired?
The unit is factory-assembled to reduce on-site wiring time and help keep installation neat and consistent.
Is this suitable for commercial solar installations?
This board is intended for domestic single-phase solar PV systems. Larger or commercial solar installations may require a different specification.
Why use a separate consumer unit for solar panels?
A dedicated solar consumer unit helps separate the solar PV installation from the main domestic board, making isolation, testing and maintenance simpler and more organised.
Is this a complete solar PV consumer unit?
Yes. The WME10-SOL1 includes RCBO protection, local isolation and integrated generation metering within a single factory-assembled enclosure.
