Make sure the incomming services go your property ate bonded. Mains water stopcock (under kitchen sink/Utility room sink) if the pipe coming out of the floor before the stopcock is copper then a earth cable must be affixed to the copper pipe above the stopcock (green & yellow cable diameter of a drinking straw)

Same with the gas pipe work might be bonded within the gas meter box external to the property if nothing is visible it may be done at the boiler or possibly under the floor. This can be verified on date of install but if nothings present the installation may not go.ahead or if it is completed the pod will be left disabled until bonding is installed and verified.

In regards to mains fuse, Pod comes with a fuse saver feature that limits the pods drawn dependant upon the homes current consumption out the box its set to 60 so a 60A mains fuse (in my opinion can be left in place.....this is my opinion and not that of PodPoint) limit can also. E lowered if the Pod is to be supplied from a board within a garage.

@Goaty - Design is the biggest change your Pod will most likely have a 2.2 PCB new ones have a 2.4 only difference is a new WiFi Module as old one no longer made.

New design was "released" late October but are only really beginning to filer through as installs, the new year is where I'm assuming it'll be Solo3 primarily with the odd Solo2 jnstall. I've only fitted 2 so far but have a few in the coming weeks.
Thanks for the confirmation πŸ‘πŸΎ. Will give them a ring and see what can be done moving forward
