Outlaw users.... causing havoc..

Which brings us to the future "solution" of the smart inverter which can be commanded remotely to reduce its output. Kind of the opposite of the remote shedding of interruptible loads when demand goes too high.
Among other things it would do wonders for the stability of the network in the medium term and would spread the losses for occasional PV generating capacity uniformly across all of the legal users.

So who is working on that smart inverter?

PGE sent a email stating I was approved to run the system and be in the Net Energy Metering program. For all of you out there it took me 20 days from the time of submittal to approval. Not exactly a streamline process but when your dealing with a Monopoly Utility what do you expect. Happy Happy Happy to be up and running and pushing power to the grid in the afternoons.
