With Sunny Boy inverters, you get a single 120v outlet for 1500-2000W of emergency power for refrigerators and lights. It's my understanding that Rapid Shutdown rules merely require you to provide emergency workers with a well marked button to push and drop the solar panel wiring to safe voltage levels in something like 30 seconds. And IIRC, you can have a hot wire running up to 10' outdoors and 5' indoors from the panel array.
I figure if I mounted the inverter high on the garage wall I could meet Rapid Shutdown by having shutting down the inverter and everything downstream of it. I'd just mount a big red inverter kill button next to the power meter and label it with the appropriate stickers. But it appears that Rapid Shutdown isn't even required in Michigan yet. https://www.homepower.com/articles/solar-electricity/design-installation/code-corner-rapid-shutdown-requirements-2014-2017 Mitch. > On January 1, 2019 at 5:58 PM Dan Penoff via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > > I would do it in a heartbeat down here where it would make a lot of sense but > the utilities continue to hamstring consumers every way possible to prevent > us from installing net metering systems.
