    I have to believe the guy replying is a shil at this point

    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.
