>>13380682>No, because you arent allowed to power your own home with solar panels.That depends on where you live. Only a few places make it illegal to not hook up to the grid. If you don't live in a densely populated area, no one is even going to know you're not on the grid.
>>13381808The trick with being grid connected is the regulations, which vary greatly from place to place. Also there are fixed monthly costs for being connected to the grid. Some places require the utility to buy your excess power at retail rates, others do so at wholesale rates, which some places the utility is allowed to refuse to buy your excess production. You really have to understand your local and state laws when deciding to install anything that isn't a standard grid connection.
