       https://mastodon.ie/@greenpartyni/116487825543983741Do these solar panels have the kinds of controllers that make this safe? Because my first response to this was "please do not"

       @astraluma Well they do usually come with an inverter which makes this safe. If you don't have an inverter you can't do this

       @star solar always requires an inverter, since PV natively makes DCBut you need a wave-following inverter, so you don't fight mains. And one that does nothing if no mains.My gut reaction was to compare them to these double plug cables, which are Bad.
