Don't tell me they put string isolation fuses on a residential solar job?
What panels have you got?
There should be no need for fuses in a nicely designed 5kw installation.

You'll forever have issues with them if they're up on the roof. For the simple fact, that fuses de-rate with ambient heat - hence they blow easier.
