Ah, OK, so that would work for the "simple" systems, but not the ones where you can feed power back into the grid and get a credit.


For those you need an automatic transfer switch (ATS), such as the Enphase Enpower. Such devices contain circuitry to automatically manage disconnecting your home from the grid, so you 1) maintain power in the home (at least on the critical circuits you decide on), and 2) don't island your home (so linemen don't die).
