From what I have read of the manual, this thing
plugs into an outlet on one of the circuits of
your breaker panel and then feeds back into the
panel. The bad part of that is when the power goes
out and you have the battery backup off grid
controller and inverter installed when the power
goes out then you have to plug anything that you
want running into the inverter. When the power
comes back on the inverter goes off line and
nothing plugged into will work so everything has
to be plugged back into the outlets that they were
originally in.
That said, If the power company meter readers see
the solar setup they will probably report that and
the utility company will have some questions for
you and may even disconnect your electricity from
the Grid till you are in compliance with their
regulations and have the system inspected. Could
be a whole bunch of problems going all the way
back to the building inspectors office possibly
including fines for non inspection etc.
Just a thought.
However for a cabin in the woods with no grid
power I can see it as a great idea.

Karl - I like the idea of this one: all the equipment is on the house side
of the meter, so electric company only sees a reduction in your usage. I
did not study their claimed ROI, so economics aside...
If a home-owner installed this DIY or acted as his own general contractor,
and assuming no HOA interference, would someone like Dan in FL be able to
do this without consequence?

Seems like this thing is able to keep the net to zero, so maybe it would
limit the panels to whatever you are using and not drop out just because
the grid is down.
