<p><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">I tell my grid friends to buy a Genset. If they can afford a roof mounted solar power system and all of the RSD bloatware, they can easily afford a good genset.</span></p>
<pre>A recent project, the county would not approve the offgrid home unless it had power. I was too busy (it was too hot) to get involved so I had my client specify a genset for the home. Sailed right thru the building department. This fall when it is cool again, we shall do a proper ground mounted system. The RSD will be a 600vdc Square D disco. Very Retro!<br /><br /> Many counties do not care about offgrid as long as all the fees and school taxes are paid \U0001f609 If they do care later, it is easy to pay the fee to correct what they want with a ground mount. Feed them alot of paper also is helpful!
