Thread Name: Should we install Solar Power?
Subject: RE: Should we install Solar Power?
Rowan - your comment about not wanting to pump juice back into the grid when there may be work being carried out on it (safety implications!).

I believe with wind turbines, you have to have a piece of equipment called a grid tie inverter (cost: about €1,000) to prevent this happening, whether this applies with solar panels as well, I don't know. Sorry, not too well up on the technicalities!
