@TechConnectify US #solarpanel prices are absurd:

A palette of 36 no-name panels is 5.600 USD or 4.724,16 EUR in the United States.

You get a similar palette of 36 500 Wp panels in Germany for 2.423,90 USD or 2.044 EUR that’s half the price!

@sheddi @BalooUriza @pfriedma @f4grx Yes the Inverters we use have this feature too.

@nor4 @BalooUriza Right. See for more inof: https://balkon.solar/news/2025/05/28/solar-secondlife-magazine-draft/

@BalooUriza @f4grx you are safe if you only plug in a system up to 800 W/ 960 Wp. Stuff above that might make a problem, but generally the wires here should be able to handle 3600 W + 800 W.

@derdo @pfriedma @f4grx @BalooUriza yes. Indeed there is a discussion about the time needed for unplugging or otherwise shutting itself off.

@pfriedma @f4grx @BalooUriza Yes a normal Plug in PV sytem is of no use in a power outage. For that you need a system with a battery that can form an island system.

@BalooUriza @f4grx Accoring to the new German Norm the Metal Pins on the Plug have to disconnected within 0,1 second and after 1 Second there has to be less then 34 Volts on them.

Here are some pictures wehre we test if a an inverter we had at hand actually does that. Even those exceeding the prescribe times did so just after it.

If the Grid goes down the inverter turns itself off. It has Anti Islanding. No Problem

@TechConnectify by the way: even if you don’t have the money or space for roof top solar, you can still do #pluginpv!
