    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.

            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.

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

              And things that are regulated are regulated.

              That’s the point.

              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.

                Regulated = legal. This is neither.

                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 does that have to do with this conversation? We’ve already established that no one is ensuring the connected equipment has any sort of certification.

          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.

            Except it’s not that simple, because it’s not illegal.

            You realize you could fucking plug ANYTHING into electrical systems now?

            You realize that’s illegal?

      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.
