Comment on Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them
zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 hours agoThese systems are designed to not push power back up if the grid goes down. In most areas, the municipality won’t even allow a solar installation to be connected or even finished without it being inspected to verify you have that sort of setup.

What system?
My research shows theres no permitting required in Utah but please correct me if I’m wrong.

Did you respond to the wrong message? Nothing I said anything to do with Utah.

Are you in the wrong thread? Because the OP is about Utah and the US.

The article clearly mentions California, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Washington and Wyoming. Perhaps others that I missed as well. Your comment I replied to was not specific to a location, you said “it makes sense to me that consumers can’t be pumping energy into the grid with no way to cut it off” and I was letting you know that it shouldn’t be a concern because that isn’t how solar power systems work. Do you think that Utah will work different for some reason?
