psi 'easy plug'

[digbeth]

Has anyone looked into this product? seem to be an invertor meant to be plugged into existing household with a suicide plug and is meant to supplement the mains, the cells are probably too small to be used on their own or even be in a situation where it could export

 

my gut instinct is that this sounds like a bad idea, with so many ways to trip up your existing protective devices and grounding

I looked at them, but I decided against them as a) a bit expensive b) I could not find what protection they have (anti-islanding for example).

Ouch!

Assuming it's a decent micro-inverter then payback would be 6 years ish.

 

You should easily be able to do something similar for half the cost.

I agree with all the above.

That thing gets filed under the category of "How to make a fast Baht out of the technologically challenged populace."

The name really says it all.

It's the same as all the GTIs being sold, but at 2.5x the price.

600w GTI = 2,500bht

340w panel = 3,500bht

a very informative video about microinverters ... worth watching in my opinion.
