Solar 4C+E (2A 2N + E)

G'day sparkie and sparkets just a quick question for the solar sector as I have been trying to improve my installation times for jobs.

When running AC supply and Battery Backup for a 10kW inverter, I want to utilise the full 40A, so a 10mm 4c+e with a black sleeved active conductor as neutral would save me running 2 x TPS and allow me to run only one cable, (plus's get the 40A) my question to you is;

  1. is there such a cable out there that has
    2x10mm actives, 2x10mm Neutrals and a
    6mm earth or am I limited to using 3* cable and sleeving one of the actives,

  2. can I utilise a 3 phase isolator and run both battery and ac supply through the one isolator? A friend of mine in the same sector says he is doing this currently but I can't find any resources on why it could be wrong, (I'm currently using 2 isolators)

And finally 3) is there anything you guys have improved on in the past that saved you a bunch of time?

Would love to get your experiences and knowledge 🤙
