Comment on Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them

  The certification on the product shows that it’s safe to use in grid-tie. What the fuck are you on about? Are you just being intentionally an obtuse pain in the ass?

    Yeah, really weird. It seems like they had some kind of agenda or point to make, but they’re going about it a very strange way.

      Yeah they seem to be making a big deal out of nothing.

        They have like 3 conversations that are 25 comments deep displaying the same pedantic and confrontational conversational style. No point, just ‘you’re wrong’ wrapped in different toxic packages.

    Are you a fucking moron? What’s to stop anyone from installing an uncertified product?

      What’s to stop anyone from installing a panel without a licensed reviewer taking a look?

        How much energy does your panel pump into the grid?

      How can cars exist when anyone could do an illegal thing to modify them?!?

        Illegal things are illegal. Good job. This is not. That’s the point.

      The world is built around the idea that people follow the rules. If you plug in an uncertified device, you are breaking the law. It’s as simple as that.

      You realize you could fucking plug ANYTHING into electrical systems now? How many people make Widowmaker cords for generators and back feed the fucking grid during outages? This is not some new problem.

      If you’re found fucking around, you find out with a big ass fine/jail. That’s how it works.

        Except it’s not that simple, because it’s not illegal.

        You realize that’s illegal?

  By now over 1.2 million people in Germany have registered (and even more have not registered) their legal small scale solar system and are producing their own electricity (mine covers 2/3rds of my total demand).

  If you think that’s a problem, be my guest.

    I don’t know if it’s a problem or not. Do you?
