Comment on Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them
zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 hours agoThe 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?

Those are potential future locations, not current ones. Any discussion around them would be purely hypothetical. I am discussing reality.
Solar systems can work in any number of ways. That’s why we have regulation, to ensure they do work in specific ways. Utah currently has no such regulation. It’s “plug and play”. People literally just buy them, hang them up, and plug them in.
