Comment on Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them
atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks agoThe same thing that currently happens when somebody does that with a gas generator? Linepersons get zapped… people get sued… etc…
There isn’t any data transmission over the wires…
That’s very wrong. Not only can you extend Ethernet in your own home using your power outlets, the power companies have been reading meters this way for decades.

It is unique to “balcony solar”. Typical solar systems require permits and inspections before connecting.

No it isn’t. The same thing happens with the kind of gas generators you can get from your local hardware store all the time.
