In Europe you should check if grid-independence is even legal. In some places it is not.
- LtWorf 4y agoIt's legal, they just won't pay you subsidies for solar panels.
- brnt 4y agoIf and how panels are incentivized varies from country to country.
- kiratp 4y agoI've always wondered, what if you were to wire up a panel and one light to the grid, but the then rest of the house is on a separate independent circuit? Technically the house is on-grid...

- benj111 4y agoI don't think it's that simple. These circuits are already a thing in the form of solar powered security lights, and shed lighting kits. I suspect the dividing line is voltage? >50v systems in cars are treated differently, so maybe the same for houses, you probably don't need that much for lighting anyway.
