Is this safe, feeding electricity into the local cabling? I recall a discussion on HN a few days ago with someone running a parallel cabling setup and there was _strong_ criticism over electrical safety; that was an entirely parallel set of cabling.
How would this work re phase, load, how it balances re the mains input, if it goes through the fuse box, etc?
- FabCH 1y agoThe microinverter gets the timing signal from the grid and certified microinverters kill the power if they lose mains power. You are also only allowed to install a couple hundred watts yourself like this, anything above 800 Wp still requires a professional.
