The problem is NOT on the installation itself and strange as it may sound, the better the earthing on your installation, the more pronounced the tingling will be.
This problem is more prevalent in areas that have overhead supplies where the connections are exposed to the elements.
If no other residents in the area are experiencing the same, then the fault will be either on the pole supplying the installation or in the roof box.
For underground supply, check the neutral connection in the stubby on the pavement.
I have in the past found a whole street experiencing the same and it was a bad neutral connection on the Municipal transformer.
Good luck.
