Very interesting. I hadn't considered the challenges solar could introduce to isolating power. Thanks for the answer.

  There's a similar problem with people using male-to-male cords (suicide cords) on their generators too? Plug a portable generator into your house this way and now it's pumping out electricity and not purely consuming it.

    It should be obvious that before you do so you should turn off the main disconnect. Otherwise you're electrifying the line for utility workers and also powering (half of) your neighbor's house backwards through a 20A circuit from your little generator, which won't work out well...

      It should be obvious, but I suspect it isn't too many people... common sense isn't common.
