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

This is not complicated, which is why I don’t understand why you’re having such a hard time.

None of what you just said explains what the frequency is for a loose wire, or how an inverter would tell the difference between off grid and grid off.

They would likely have two separate frequencies, a standard used nationally “On the Grid” frequency, and if you’re “Off the Grid” you would need to have a different frequency then what ever is used locally.

You could use a device Like this to measure, or change the frequency of said wire.

  LOL again I ask, what is the frequency of a loose piece of wire? Let me go ahead and answer this for you this time: there is none. Which is why an inverter can’t tell the difference between being off the grid, and being on the grid with no power.

    Ahh I misunderstood you and took you for the benefit of the doubt.
    
    If you have a system off grid then it doesn’t fucking matter.

    Yes but, for the last time, the inverter, importantly, doesn’t know if you’re off-grid or not
