Comment on The ‘Guerrilla Solar’ Era Has Arrived, and Here’s What to Know
Jimny_Crkt@slrpnk.net 2 weeks agoYou have to understand, for this to happen you would need more than 15/20 amps of electrical use plugged into that circuit. As soon as a cloud reduces the solar output, the entire load would be on the utility end of the circuit and the breaker would trip.

I agree. Clouds are my preferred form of overcurrent protection.

I guess my point is that creating an over current condition requires plugging in more demand than the circuit is designed for, and the solar piece would only allow that setup to run intermittently. A reasonable person would turn off some of the load or move it to other outlets the first time the breaker tripped.
