Yes, but Enphase Microinverters shut off, SolarEdge inverters shut off, for
just that reason. This makes them certifiable. They are probably the better
ones for my application.

You mentioned it was possible with more equipment. Can you elaborate? I want
to primarily be on the program, but when my grid goes down for any serious
length of time what more equipment would you recommend me considering that
both meets the code, made in Ontario and is tried and true, suitable for the
program. I don't want knock offs or copies, or offshore stuff. Must be
certified and meet the code, etc etc, and not so complicated it needs NASA
Satelite Engineers to approve my drawings.


Thanks

Yes, all you say is the same here. All elements of the codes must be
followed.

So you are saying it is possible to be able to use your solar panels when
the grid is off?

At my cottage the grid shuts off for long times.

Thanks

Yes, it is possible, but takes more equipment.

Most PV systems take the simple approach to the requirement that they
not feed into a grid that is off and potentially electrocute a
lineman by simply turning off your system.

More expensive systems include sensors and relays to isolate your
PV system and residence from the grid if the grid turns off.
