Slap down some more metres!!. Or time too knock off!!?

Hi everyone. I now think I've posted this in the wrong community!?? Originally posted in AusElectricians. Which is supposed to be just for electricians. I did receive a couple comments though but thought I'd also try here too. Any input would be very grateful. Thankyou...

Copy & pasted: With a couple edits & more ​pics for more information. last pic is of the original circuit board setup which is basically the same layout as the new one in terms of/with the new labelling & where circuit are positioned, then & now.

Just had a solar & battery system ​installed. Fox ess 47kw battery & a 15kw H3 inverter with full house backup. Drawing anything under 10kw the system runs fine, anything over, & the inverter trips out. Installer ​is saying that it's the grid that's imbalanced & to ring your provider. Essential Energy.

Is this the case? Or could there be other reasons!? Like the way he has wired everything up in my circuit board?? Or like he hasn't balanced the load/phases out properly?

Did have all new rcbo's installed & now looks very messy! Looks rushed in my opinion, no planning, wires everywhere. Nothing like my initial install which was very neat & tidy & seemed to be well balanced, never had a problem with anything tripping. I now do have a light circuit that trip instantly when first powered up after installation & was told he would look into whats going on when he comes back to finish off. Couldn't find the problem when he came back & is now blaming the original electrical work & has now just connected it to the outdoor spotlight circuit, basically saying it's not his problem, but is willing to find the problem & fix it, if I pay for his extra time to do so!??. Like really!!?

Anyway back to my main reason for asking for advice with my inverter tripping out. I do know that the battery & inverter does have a 30m run to & from my main electrical box & for some reason they decided to used 16mm cable one way to the inverter & 10mm coming back the other way to meter box, the alternative/​back up power. Rather then 16mm both ways, which to what I can gather, should have been done?.

Any information will be gratefully appreciated. Thankyou.
