dual both active grid / off grid solar

Previously posted " On grid /Off grid Domestic kitchen Choice of grid or solar at point of use

Thus kitchen is equipped with both grid and completely independent solar ( inverter ) sockets

Eg Plug your washing machine to grid or solar user choice as opportune. Both are live.together

See attached schematic

The issue is earthing : Care so that earth potential to casing of one appliance plugged to grid is not different to another appliance plugged to off grid supply Easily within reach in a domestic kitchen

Previously advised the earth arrangement as in diagram ( earth rod linked to my incoming grid earth MET ) would suffice Arrangement is similar to UPS systems

So advised tp contact a locally qualified electrician with UPS experience to get final approval / sign off

I cant find one ?? Can anyone put me in touch with such a person locally ? Or is there a directory ? I am in south london close to Morden Northern Line tube

thankyou I will try that : Fascinated by the arguments though too fat our of date to appreciate them.

To reiterate I have no intention of installing this myself I want assurance the proposal is in fact safe. Cannot start without that If there is is doubt I wont do it . Do think the concept has merit. If possible

The solution was proposed previously on here but I need to be sure. Is there any mileage in comparing to new EV charging rules that have NO earth rod

( Diagrams of current flow under fault would be instructive to my learning but hey . Thank you again.
