If you already own a home it is not illegal to not have them.

`It is even illegal to use Solar power instead of hooking into the grid.`

I think you have to buy the solarpanels from a particular company otherwise it’s illegal

im confused

`Yes in California many have had their property stolen for not hooking into the grid. For their safety. Right. Insane.` when did this happen

Yes in Florida the home owners were not allowed to use Solar power when the power went out.

when?

steve oh really

who said

It started about 20 years ago and is getting worse and worse.

I can't find anything about that

It was not safe. It might shock the power workers was the stupid explanation though to do it you had to disconnect from the Grid. If you did that you could be fined and possibly arrested.

It was illegal to disconnect from the grid. Even if they were not providing any power.

So they only had to shut it off when the power workers came to work?

That's not exclusively solar. It just means you have to have a separate breaker panel for emergencies. That's just safety

No to use their own solar panels for power they had to disconnect from the grid. But doing that was illegal.

The issue is connecting a generator or panels to the main circuit can theoretically send a back cureent through the power lines

Its easy to work around, you just use special breakers

Had they done it when the power came on they would have to flip the switch to use that power at night and such.

So it was impossible their power could shock any power workers.

What?

What are you saying

Those special breakers are required to use Solar Panels. Not optional.

Okay? That's just safety

```It is even illegal to use Solar power instead of hooking into the grid.
``` thats just misleading

Unless they are not hooked up to the power grid. Like a solar charger for your phone is fine.

```
Its illegal to use Solar power during an outage without taking proper safety precautions```

Thats very different

Yes just safety for you. Hooking into the grid when you have lived without it for a hundred years in your family.

What are you talking about now

No it is illegal to use your Solar Panels during an outage. Period.

I can't find anything to say that

They lie that the required safety breakers are not safe. Asinine.

I might be looking in the wrong spot, can you link something?

Look up the Florida hurricanes and solar panels. Should find it.

```Places that can experience extreme weather and wind events like Florida and Texas have done a pretty good job of passing rules to ensure solar systems can survive the worst. Most places in Florida require solar installations to withstand winds of 160 mph minimum, and in place like Houston, Texas, where hurricane Harvey caused massive destruction, that number is 110 mph (PDF).```

what are you talking about

I was being harassed when I saved links. So I stopped it. Breaking into my house multiple times was enough. They never stole anything except a bit of tea and they poured that into the sink.

Where is the law?

What?

People broke into your house to pour your tea into the sink?
