Thank you ProDave Understood clearly the switch over relay, and seperate feed, what controls would I need to make this high priority circuit? understand poor preformance in this season, but once it is charged up 1-5 days it is a unsefull back up for now

Thank you JOTH The set up is mainly for powering the essentials for max 4 hours a day, there are double connectors next to the mains feed to the house and only one of +/- each in use, I take it a transfer switch can be placed there. Could a Grid tie Unit be an answer?

Hello, we live in a special time, my predictions for 2021 there will be man made powercuts lasting more then 1 hour up to weeks even. I have decided to have a small battery bank as a back up power system to be able to supply basic power for essential use in the main house, fridge, freezer,boiler, pump, led's, alarm,and a few other bits. to power the battery bank I will have 2x300W solar panels, 2.4kW hybrid inverter/charger and 2x 100Ah AGM Batteries. I have a garage 15 meters from the main house. the power supply for the garage is from a MCB in the CU, cbaled up to a CU in the garage, which has 4 MCB's. My idea is to attach the inverter/charger underneath the Garage CU . Question is, can I use the same cable from the house CU to the garage, sending battery bank power via the inverter/charger back to the house CU. If that is so will the Garage MCB on the house CU divert its power to the circuits which are 'ON' on the house CU. thank you in advance
