What is the point? I mean, truly, what is it that you’re trying to convey in this thread?
Do us all a favor and use a few sentences to explain that your point actually is here because clearly you’re trying to make a point but you’re going about it in a very strange way.
I’ve already explained my point in great detail, several times. The utility is in the right to be concerned about worker safety when people are legally allowed to connect unpermitted potentially unsafe equipment to the grid.
What does that have to do with this conversation? We’ve already established that no one is ensuring the connected equipment has any sort of certification.
Maybe you should reread the thread then because others have explained to you that they’re certified.
Are you just trying to get your comment count or something? Such a bizarre way to try to make a point. Not to mention, you’re being a major asshole to people for no reason.
The world is built around the idea that people follow the rules. If you plug in an uncertified device, you are breaking the law. It’s as simple as that.
You realize you could fucking plug ANYTHING into electrical systems now? How many people make Widowmaker cords for generators and back feed the fucking grid during outages? This is not some new problem.
If you’re found fucking around, you find out with a big ass fine/jail. That’s how it works.
What’s stopping me from plugging a diesel generator into my house when the power goes out? Generators are common in rural America. Don’t require a license either.
Are you a fucking moron? What’s to stop anyone from installing an uncertified product?
How can cars exist when anyone could do an illegal thing to modify them?!?
Illegal things are illegal. Good job. This is not. That’s the point.
And things that are regulated are regulated.

Regulated = legal. This is neither.

What do you think “certifications” are?
What does that have to do with this conversation? We’ve already established that no one is ensuring the connected equipment has any sort of certification.
Where did anyone establish that?

I regret even engaging in the first place.
Maybe you should reread the comment you just replied to where I explained that no one is verifying that the installed equipment is certified.
…why would anyone do that? I’m just trying to have a rational conversation.
It’s not for no reason, it’s because people are being assholes to me first, seemingly out of frustration for not being able to grasp simple concepts.

Except it’s not that simple, because it’s not illegal.
You realize that’s illegal?
What’s to stop anyone from installing a panel without a licensed reviewer taking a look?
…it’s illegal?

They require permitting.
