Hmm, if it comes to that I guess. I'd prefer ganeral advice though
in case I end up using a different one by the time I've got
everything set up. I'm in the country so there isn't a "neighbour"
sparky as such. It's a matter of who'se willing to make the drive,
and ideally for a fee that's not completely disproportionate to the
$500 I'm paying for the solar system, although I'm braced for
disappointment on that front.

Yeah I guess if I ring around enough I can work out the general
advice for myself eventually. The inverter is _already_ certified
though, with an AS / NZS 4777.2: 2020 certificate of conformity
downloadable from the manufacturer's website. As it should be,
given that distributors are still selling the model. Getting one
certified by a lab would surely cost a fortune, which is where I
wonder about how much of a dealbreaker it might be if something
else turns out to need certification as well.

Lack of AS / NZS 4777 certification is apparantly why "plug-in"
type solar inverters aren't allowed to be used in Australia:
