I know there are solar panels that supply direct power. I see them on the shows where people live in the wilderness and use them as their only source of power. Are these illegal in California? Are California consumers not told the panels they buy and install don’t supply direct power?

My friend installed them and was aware of the fact that they were not supplying direct power...Could be some consumers are not aware.

Not sure if illegal, but the State offers financial benefits to customers who install the solar panels to (supposedly) provide power to power grid...Loans, rebates, reduced rates, etc.

What a scam. Oh well, a fool and his money.....

Typically, solar panels that supply direct power charge a battery like on a sail boat, etc. They are direct current. Not A/C.

In some places you have to do one or the other...off the grid or on the grid. If you are on the grid you have to follow their rules.
