I am about to buy a Sunsynk inverter and get it installed by an MCS certified electrician. The electrician told me that I won't need a transfer switch, because the Sunsynk inverters don't need them, and will supply power to the house due to the 'anti islanding' function - but I want the transfer switch in case the inverter stops working, so I can divert the grid straight into the house, rather than into the inverter.
Is my electrician right, and did I misunderstand what he said? I can't see how a faulty inverter can pass through electricity from the grid to the house, unless it uses a relay to divert the electricity through the inverter when the inverter is working, and then the relay defaults back to a 'pass through' mode. Can any Sunsynk owners help me out?
