When I first learned about this I was annoyed, but then realized you could buy a system that works around this limitation.

- hootbootscoot 7y agoOf course you can. The most elementary modicum of research into solar-powered equipment immediately shoves the question: "grid tied or off grid?" into your face. It's the primary 2 categories of equipment on online solar shops, as the menus indicate.
- hootbootscoot 7y agothe "grid-tied" inverter integrates -a charge controller (PWM or MPTT, I believe the latter is a buck converter, but it trades amperage for voltage and vice-versa to constantly maintain a voltage advantage over the battery) -an AC inverter the charge controller simply needs to have the means to indepedently switch between "grid-tied" and "battery-charging" I believe most grid-tie inverters have to COMPLETELY disengage from the grid in the event of outages by LAW and this is simply because line-repair-staff don't want to get fried trying to repair lines. Lines are either "up" and working or "down" While what the person above mentioned would be technically feasible. (a distributed grid) it's not desirable nor legal under the current way power grids operate. Again, this is no failing of solar etc.
