> The issue is they want to spin their electric meter backwards when there's excess power and the local utility isn't willing to make the proper connections. You can't just feed power back into the grid, it has to be properly isolated and connected or you get energized lines when linemen are expecting them to be dead. Understood, on / off automation exists. Is there power draw (the grid can handle and wants more power): Panel.collection.state = 1 Is there no power draw: Panel.collection.state = 0 >If they just wanted to be off the grid they'd tell the utility to pull the meter and that would be that. Yes. They don't want that and while that's unrelated that is something that completely off grid setups have to keep in mind - that being excess power to what their battery storage + current usage requires. Those systems have the above on them.
