But he isn’t bringing mains cables into a steel box (if by that you mean a landline)as he’s completely solar and Genny powered from what he says.

 

So what's the genny powering? I perhaps mistakenly assumed an AC system (i.e. mains cables).

But the Genny is producing 240V isn't it? Same as being on mains so the risks are surely the same. Doesn't matter where the power is generated, 240V is 240V

Exactly. Or f an inverter is taking 12v and inverting to 240v then the boat has mains.

My genny charges the batteries, via an inverter charger, (sometimes by a separate charger only).

 

The batteries then supply 12V DC directly, and 240V AC via the inverter.

 

Thus the genny only provides 240V to the charger or inverter charger

Er, so that means you have created 240v AC right. As blackrose mentions above, this is the same thing. Is the earth for that 240v grounded to the hull? (Do generators ground the Neutral leg like the mains? I don't have one so not sure)
