The upshot of that is if the PV a.c. circuit needs additional protection by 30mA RCD (say because the cable is concealed in a wall) then you need a double pole switching RCD so that the PV circuit becomes a separated from earth once the RCD trips - so preventing shocks to earth even in the inverter is still generating.

6 FAQs about [Solar power supply wires embedded in the wall]
Do solar panels need MC wire?
Most local jurisdictions require DC power wiring (such as from solar arrays and batteries) be in metal conduit inside buildings and dwellings. Check your local authority to confirm their code requirements. MC wire also is sufficient. the NEC ruled a few years back on this. I believe the PV wires need to be in metal conduit indoors. What voltage?
Can you run a power cord inside a wall?
I am clear that the NEC codes say not to run power cables (e.g. to a TV) inside the wall. And I also know that romex cable is allowed and perfectly safe inside a wall. Codes aside, what is the actual difference/danger with a power cord inside the wall (vs it being safe/allowed inside a surface mounted conduit/cable concealer)?
How does a solar PV system work?
As shown in Fig 1, the PV system incorporates a number of PV modules which convert the energy of solar radiation emitted by the sun into electrical energy by means of the photovoltaic effect. The modules are connected into series ‘strings’ to provide the required output voltage and arranged into one or more arrays.
Are electrical wires run in walls?
Most electrical wires (in conduit)/cables are run in walls. Are you talking about extension cables? Surface mounts are usually used when a wall is finished and people don't want to make a mess, depends on local also. Think a better question is if your insurance company will allow it.
Should a PV inverter be connected to a mains supply?
In addition, warning labels should be provided on junction boxes (Regulation 712.537.2.2.5.1 refers). For the purposes of isolation between the mains supply and the PV supply, the PV system should be considered as a load. Disconnecting the AC supply to the inverter will cause the inverter to shutdown.
Can Photovoltaic Wire be used inside conduit?
Metal conduit. The question would be whether photovoltaic wire (what IS the proper name, if not "MC"?) can be used inside conduit. It is already water proof, but not intended for direct burial. It's extra thick insulation might mean in a cable, bundle, conduit it would need further derating.
