Here the evil spiral.... If you interconnect to the grid you are only allowed to put on the roof what can cover your own past power need. Problem is, I am in the process to shut down the gas utilities and move everything on electric, that why I need to put more panels on my roof. If I do so they will probably refuse to interconnect my system with the grid. Looks like it does not matter if there will be no energy flow from my home to the grid.... I already responded, and I have no hope somebody will understand on their side. PS: Thanks for the correction! |

PS: Thanks for the correction! --- End quote --- Okay... so I guess I just don't understand why you want to "interconnect". Seems to me like what you need is to keep your consumer subscriber line, then configure some form of failover or power conditioning which only permits consumption of grid power when needed? Alternately, only connect and allow them to collect data from the panels they claim you're allowed to have; keep the others on a separate system as "offline backup" or power for say your garage or for charging your EV. Once you establish that you need more capacity, then bring them online. Or... you could stay a customer for a few months after you switch over to electric everything and establish a new usage pattern. Probably more economical in the long run. :-// mnem :blah: |

I want to use the grid as backup in the events the batteries are low or the home power demand is too high for the inverters. I am happy to pay a 12 dollars fee/month for the grid interconnection aka my emergency generator. I guess I could survive the bidirect. meter fee if they allow me to put what I want on my roof. |

I guess then you need to decide if it's worth being a customer for another 6 months so you can show a new usage pattern into the winter months, or as I suggested, put up the panels you want, but have the excess routed to a dedicated EV charging station and only bring them online once you've established what you really need. Of course, some EVs and their charger can also be used as emergency storage/power, so that might be a valid route to consider... mnem :-// |
