2nd Garage Board

Hi, Just a quick question on installing a second board for Solar PV in my garage.
I have a 2 way board at the moment with RCD protection for lighting and sockets, supplied from the main house DB (20A 4.0mm cable).
I have previously installed a separate 6.0mm cable from the main DB to the garage for Solar PV.
Couple of questions?
1. I have connected the 6.0mm cable for the Solar PV to a 32A MCB directly off the mains switch in the house DB, (No RCD protection), should this be an RCBO?
2. What protection do I need in the second board in the garage for the Solar PV /Inverter? I know I need SPD protection, do I just need mains switch and 20A MCB? or should that be RCBO also?
Thanks
GT
