You are required to notify your utilities that you’ll be operating a direct plugged small solar PV installation, that’s it. They can’t forbid you from doing this.
The utilities don’t monitor compliance, the manufacturer is.
The certification on the product shows that it’s safe to use in grid-tie. What the fuck are you on about? Are you just being intentionally an obtuse pain in the ass?
The world is built around the idea that people follow the rules. If you plug in an uncertified device, you are breaking the law. It’s as simple as that.
You realize you could fucking plug ANYTHING into electrical systems now? How many people make Widowmaker cords for generators and back feed the fucking grid during outages? This is not some new problem.
If you’re found fucking around, you find out with a big ass fine/jail. That’s how it works.
What’s stopping me from plugging a diesel generator into my house when the power goes out? Generators are common in rural America. Don’t require a license either.
By now over 1.2 million people in Germany have registered (and even more have not registered) their legal small scale solar system and are producing their own electricity (mine covers 2/3rds of my total demand).
Again I ask, if there is no permit, how will the utilities know you are in compliance with this law?

So it sounds like you’re saying there is no way? And therein lies the problem.

Are you a fucking moron? What’s to stop anyone from installing an uncertified product?

Except it’s not that simple, because it’s not illegal.
You realize that’s illegal?
What’s to stop anyone from installing a panel without a licensed reviewer taking a look?
…it’s illegal?

They require permitting.

If you think that’s a problem, be my guest.
I don’t know if it’s a problem or not. Do you?
