The way all the wiring has been built in there's no easy way to put in a larger distribution board. The upside is that the solar & battery will be able to most of the work on a sunny day.

Tim, I used (with my sparky) some proper connector blocks to tap into the main 25mm2 cables and feed off into a separate little dist board with it's own MCB and RCD to feed the charger, my thought being if the external charger trips as it's outside in the rain at least the whole house won't do 'down'
