What most people seem to forget is that if they decide to install a illegal grid tie system without getting a contract with their POCO that allows them to send power to the grid more than likely they will get charged for any power leaving their home because the meter will consider all power going through it as being purchased by the home owner.
Now with the chance of being charged for power that is sent to the grid, increasing the chances of causing a fire by using illegal or low quality inverters and getting fined by your POCO for an illegal installation makes me think that saving a few dollars on my electric bill is just not worth the chance of any of the bad side effects that may come out of the issue.Comment
