Board split and changeover
Essential versus non-essential is a wiring decision on your Somerset West board. The backup only works if that split is honest.
DB split and changeover — not a PV sales company
Inverter and battery backup in Somerset West
Inverter and battery backup installation in Somerset West as electrical work on the board — essential/non-essential split and changeover. Not rooftop PV sales, no battery brand catalogue.
01
Backup on this site is electrical: an inverter and battery on the existing board, split and changeover done so the circuits you named actually stay up.
Inverter and battery backup in Somerset West, on this electrician site, is work on the distribution board. People want essential circuits to stay up when the supply does not. That is a DB split, a changeover, protection, and an inverter and battery installed so those circuits are actually on the backup. It is not a rooftop PV sales page, and it is not a catalogue of battery brands we are claiming to stock. You can install backup on the existing board without a full rooftop array. That is a common electrical brief. Solar-electrician searches in this town are dominated by PV companies; those are a different SERP. This card stays inside the locked pair: electrical work on the board. Grid-tie paperwork and SSEG COC sit on the compliance card, not here as a sales pitch. Send the suburb, a photo of the board, and which circuits you want on backup — lights, plugs, geyser, or a tighter essential list. We quote from that installation. We will not name inverter brands as ours on this site, and we will not invent a storage-kilowatt menu.

Inverter and battery on the existing supply is electrical work. A full PV array is a different search and is not this card.

Straight answers
Questions about inverter & battery backup.
Final recommendations depend on the site. These are useful starting points.
Can you install an inverter and battery on the existing DB without a full rooftop PV array?+
Yes as an electrical brief. Backup on the board does not require a rooftop. PV sales are a different search and are not this card.
Which circuits should be on backup?+
That is your list — lights, plugs, a fridge, maybe not the geyser. We will say what the board and the inverter can actually carry. We will not invent a standard package.
Do you sell a particular inverter brand?+
We are not listing brands as ours. The work is the electrical install and changeover.
Is this a solar-installer page?+
No. The hero of this site is electrician work. This card is backup on the board. SSEG compliance is a separate supporting card.
