    ok I have to believe the guy replying is a shil at this point. Use of approved products is as old as the electric stystem. Its why the electric company does not have to come and inspect everything you have plugged into the grid and does not come out every time you get a new appliance. The standards are with the product as you correctly point out and the state does not allow on compliant products to be sold just like with refrigerators.

      A shill for what, exactly? Linemen safety? The horror.

      Its why the electric company…does not come out every time you get a new appliance.

      That’s because your appliances aren’t backfeeding to the grid. Anything that does requires inspections and permits, to make sure they don’t kill people , or delay getting the power back on, which can kill people.

        but the edge case you give has nothing to do with feeding back to the grid given it was already pointed out they auto shut off which regulated by whats allowed to be sold because anyone could put a non legal thing that feeds energy into the grid even if they jury rigged it themself.

          it was already pointed out they auto shut off

          And I already pointed out that that’s not a given.

          which regulated by whats allowed to be sold

          And I already pointed out that that’s not correct. In fact most equipment that’s sold does not do that.

          anyone could put a non legal thing that feeds energy into the grid even if they jury rigged it themself.

          Yes, people can do all kinds of things that are illegal. That doesn’t mean we stop trying to prevent it.
