SOLAR POWER
What you need to know about Solar power that the slimy
installers and Solar company donÃ¢‚¬„¢t tell you and
donÃ¢‚¬„¢t want you to know!!! Solar Energy is nice clean and
chip; but who dose actually benefit from it??? Well yes every
body dose benefit but most of it goes to Financial
Organizations; unless you purchase it out right!! Warning The
Kicker You can not have any power: if your power line is down
In other words the Electricity must be on in order to have
power from Solar system Ã¢‚¬Å“How nice or stupidÃ¢‚¬?
What is purpose of Solar if you can not get power from
It while you may not have supply from you local Electric.
Yes it will need that inverters would need additional circuitry
for which it should not be big deal, perhaps extra $20.00 will
do! But solar and Electric companies do not want you to have
that, because some or too many people would be taking advantage
of self sufficiency.

This is more than a simple "$20" circuit. You could certainly
clock the inverter for much less than that but the rub comes in
with transfer equipment that will satisfy the PoCo and be NEC
compliant. You will also need some kind of automatic load
management unless you are right there managing the load. It is
going to take a lot of solar to deal with the locked rotor of an
HVAC compressor, especially if the water heater or dryer is
going.

Especially if you don't use gas appliances and force everything to
run on solar.

If you are burning fossil fuels you are not green, you are a
prepper.

The client could be. The discussion never came up. I didn't claim the
client was a tree hugger, either, though.

The fact remains that grid tie inverters listed for the
purpose do not run off grid unless you have transfer equipment and
some hack to bootstrap them from an on site frequency source

Yep, a hybrid inverter with a battery bank is a 'hack' and a half.
