NJ diy setup questions...is there a under the radar limit

Remember that Europe is running 220V.
So not only is the input Amperage of such a device twice as high in the US that in Europe. But In addition, European circuit which are on average10 to 32 Amp can take twice as much power that a US 120V circuit (usually 15 to 30 Amp). And finally, they tend to have less outlets per circuit than in the US.

All that combined may influence why such input device may be acceptable in Europe but could be a problem on US Home circuit.

Thats where the trip curve comes into play. The wire is has typically no problem

There's the key word - "typically." Not always.

If you want to do it right, put in a dedicated line. That way it works always, not just usually.

Agree. The OP needs a dedicated line to the breaker panel and not a shared line or breaker to input the power from solar.

Any other way is illegal in the US

Thx for the clarification. Took them a good while to push that into legality as well over there...power companies and electrical standard department were fighting it like crazy. But u might be right that the infrastructure in the us is not cutting it.
will discard the idea. Thx to all of you

Sorry for the confusion. Some people are still able to perform a solar DIY installation which should save money. As long as their AHJ says it is ok and it meets all local safety codes.

If you decide to do this keep in mind, if you, at any time generate more power than you are consuming there's a good chance a big red flag will pop up due to feedback to the POCO
