You are required to notify your utilities that you’ll be operating a direct plugged small solar PV installation, that’s it. They can’t forbid you from doing this.
The utilities don’t monitor compliance, the manufacturer is.
The certification on the product shows that it’s safe to use in grid-tie. What the fuck are you on about? Are you just being intentionally an obtuse pain in the ass?
They have like 3 conversations that are 25 comments deep displaying the same pedantic and confrontational conversational style. No point, just ‘you’re wrong’ wrapped in different toxic packages.
The world is built around the idea that people follow the rules. If you plug in an uncertified device, you are breaking the law. It’s as simple as that.
You realize you could fucking plug ANYTHING into electrical systems now? How many people make Widowmaker cords for generators and back feed the fucking grid during outages? This is not some new problem.
If you’re found fucking around, you find out with a big ass fine/jail. That’s how it works.
What is the point? I mean, truly, what is it that you’re trying to convey in this thread?
Do us all a favor and use a few sentences to explain that your point actually is here because clearly you’re trying to make a point but you’re going about it in a very strange way.
I’ve already explained my point in great detail, several times. The utility is in the right to be concerned about worker safety when people are legally allowed to connect unpermitted potentially unsafe equipment to the grid.
What’s stopping me from plugging a diesel generator into my house when the power goes out? Generators are common in rural America. Don’t require a license either.
By now over 1.2 million people in Germany have registered (and even more have not registered) their legal small scale solar system and are producing their own electricity (mine covers 2/3rds of my total demand).

So it sounds like you’re saying there is no way? And therein lies the problem.
The certification on the product shows that it’s safe to use in grid-tie. What the fuck are you on about? Are you just being intentionally an obtuse pain in the ass?
Yeah, really weird. It seems like they had some kind of agenda or point to make, but they’re going about it a very strange way.
Yeah they seem to be making a big deal out of nothing.

Are you a fucking moron? What’s to stop anyone from installing an uncertified product?

Except it’s not that simple, because it’s not illegal.
You realize that’s illegal?
How can cars exist when anyone could do an illegal thing to modify them?!?
Illegal things are illegal. Good job. This is not. That’s the point.
And things that are regulated are regulated.
What is the point? I mean, truly, what is it that you’re trying to convey in this thread?

Regulated = legal. This is neither.

What do you think “certifications” are?
What’s to stop anyone from installing a panel without a licensed reviewer taking a look?
…it’s illegal?
What’s stopping me from plugging a diesel generator into my house when the power goes out? Generators are common in rural America. Don’t require a license either.
They require permitting.
By now over 1.2 million people in Germany have registered (and even more have not registered) their legal small scale solar system and are producing their own electricity (mine covers 2/3rds of my total demand).
If you think that’s a problem, be my guest.
I don’t know if it’s a problem or not. Do you?
