home solar panel
How do you connect a solar panel to your home grid?
I know you’d need a pretty serious power converter (110V 20A to what ever power the panel provides?), but what kind, and more importantly where would you actually connect it to your power grid (possibly turning the power off via the circuit breaker and connecting it there with some kind of diode?)
Someone’s not a DIY’er…
You need a “grid tie inverter”.
They do make them in a DIY set up. The simplest ones just plug in to the wall. If you can hook up a battery charger you can do this.

To all the call a pro folks, Please watch the video before you hit the thumbs down. It’s no longer complex or dangerous. Tell the truth, it really doesn’t rise up to the level of diy.
