Plug in 110V grid-tied pergola

Hey all,

With the recent increase in regulatory control of solar, why is there not more people talking about and covering “just plug it in” 110V solar? This is quite common in Germany. But the amount of FUD around back-feeding / permits / regulation is simply astounding, especially when the inverter in question is UL 1741 / CA Rule 21.

Probably going to set up a solar pergola with these transparent panels

And this inverter. I think it will be “over paneled” by quite a bit if I just use one inverter, but there is no real issues with that, right? I like the light pass through properties of the 460W panels.

You could always use a portable battery/solar/inverter as a ups and power items connected to the inverter. Just limit the inverter input as low as you can so you can charge batteries at night, etc. and primarily run on battery assist with solar.
