I have conflicting information on a Inverter and Solar installation.

What kind of certification is required for electrical and panels?

Should the Bank/Bond holder be notified for insurance purposes? 

Does this now form part of the house as it is a fixture much like the geyser?

As far as I understand, there are no regulations for the DC side (panels and batteries) in South Africa yet, but your AC side will need to signed off by a registered electrician to ensure it complies with regulations.

1. What conflicting information, exactly?

2. You need a COC for the inverter. The PV array is DC and there's no official certification for it yet. 

3. Yes. 

4. Yes

Thank you for the clarification and it does make sense now
