It means that in Florida if you’re net metering (selling unused power back to the utility) that if the utility goes offline, so does your solar array.
Unless - you have local storage as in a battery bank. If you don’t have local storage, your inverter is shut down when the utility goes dark. This surprised many owners who didn’t do their due diligence researching how these systems work when hurricanes or outages occur. They thought they would just keep cruising along on their solar system when the utility went down. Nope! When the utility fails your system goes offline. So now you have a roof full of PV panels making electricity you can’t use. This is only one of the batsh*t crazy laws regarding solar systems we have in this state courtesy of the utilities, who own our legislature. -D > On Jan 1, 2020, at 12:19 PM, tyee165 via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > What does that mean?Sent from my Galaxy Tab® A > -------- Original message --------From: Dan Penoff via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Date: 2020-01-01 10:10 AM (GMT-06:00) To: Okie Benz > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Cc: Dan Penoff <d...@penoff.com> Subject: Re: [MBZ] > OT - Fun with Water Heaters Not allowed here if you’re doing net metering > unless you have storage batteries.-D> On Jan 1, 2020, at 10:25 AM, Mitch > Haley via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote:> > >> On December 31, 2019 > at 2:13 PM Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote:>> >> > >> Dan, have you priced out solar PV panels for your roof?> > > I don't know > about Mrs Dan, but I bet Dan could make do nicely in a power failure with the > 2000W emergency outlet on a Sunny Boy inverter, assuming it didn't brown out > every time a cloud came by. > > Mitch.> > > _______________________________________> http://www.okiebenz.com> > To search > list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/> > To Unsubscribe or change > delivery options go to:> > http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com> > _______________________________________http://www.okiebenz.comTo search list > archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/To Unsubscribe or change delivery > options go to:http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > _______________________________________ > http://www.okiebenz.com > > To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ > > To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: > http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com > _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
