How a home backup system is wired Solar panels and a battery connect to an inverter. The inverter and the Eskom supply both connect to the distribution board, which feeds the house. Solar panels Isolator Battery Inverter kWh Eskom supply Distribution board Your house Earth DC from panels and battery AC to the house
The system powers your house. It does not feed electricity back into the grid.

What I install

Solar PV
Panels mounted on your roof and wired to the inverter, with isolation and protection on the DC side.
Inverters
The inverter connected to your distribution board, so the circuits you choose keep running when the power goes off.
Batteries
Battery storage sized to what you want to keep on, and for how long.
Certificates of Compliance
Testing of the installation and the certificate that goes with it.
