Comment on Britons could soon install balcony solar panels in flats and rental homes
Cort@lemmy.world 12 hours agoUnregistered as in you but the solar panel and inverter and just plug it into a regular wall outlet with a normal plug to back feed the house.
Before anyone suggests it’s a suicide cable, the inverter have grid sending and won’t back feed power without the grid electricity being sensed.

How would that work in the UK with the ring circuit? Won’t we just blow out everything else connected to that circuit.

It already works in the UK, it just winds back your meter, atleast pre smart meter.

No. the devices on the circuit only pull as much electricity as they need, any unused back feed returns to the main panel/fusebox to be distributed to any other circuits currently using electricity. If there’s still any unused, it goes to the grid to be used.
