We are in the middle of doing a build and  our db board and are want to integrate our (smallish) solar system. 

We want to have the option to change over to eskom incase our inverter packs up. I see they are around 1.5k. Our system is only about 1200w. 

Is there a more affordable change over option that is 1) sabs complaint 2) fits into a db?

You can also use this unit. I prefer switching L and N as you don't want to connect the N to the util N but only to your N wires.
