DIY Installation and certification

Featured Replies

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
