    The beauty of grid-tied solar is it maximizes the utility of your array. With our POCO, you can backfeed up to 1000watts of power without an interconnect agreement.
    Just use a small grid-tied inverter or microinverters and start using the sun...

  • Taking only part of your homes electrical service off grid

    I live in South Florida. Plenty of Sun year round.

    I also have 1000watts in solar panels (10 x 100watt)
    They've mostly been in storage waiting for the day that I finally put them to use.

    I live in an urban area where I'm kinda pickle jarred in by neighbors.

    I was thinking about trying to keep electrical service for major appliances like central AC, Dryer, all 240 appliances etc....but I thought it would be nice if I could just take some parts of the home off grid completely and power just those from solar.

    I guess the problem is that all the circuits run into the main panel.

    I do have a transfer switch for my generator but then again that just goes back to the main panel isolating the current from the grid.
    I guess I answered my own question maybe.
Working...
