As a renter in the US, I really want something like this. I don’t really care about the electricity billed saved but want some small backup during black outs (which this product isn’t intended for). I rather they force us to shut the breaker on the line we’re powering so everyone is safe, the house, the people living there and the utility company.

I'm really surprised by the other comments saying that they are renters and they interested in this. It seems like a lot of work, cost and space required for very little payoff. 800 watts of panels gives you ~4 kWh a day, which is about $2.50 at current northern california electricity prices. But I suspect you're not going to have a continuous load like a fridge or air conditioner on this because of its small size, so you'll probably actually use less of that energy. What am I missing?

I really want to do one of these systems in the US, but I am a renter and don’t want to make it a whole thing with an inverter panel.

I know they claim to synchronize with the power grid, but I am super suspect, cause I grew up with stories of incorrectly installed house generators hurting linemen in Florida after hurricanes during outages

Are these truly safe? Do they really require no modifications? Are there any that are plug and play wind and solar?

(in Europe)

What could go wrong?
