| It is. But in this case the conflict is more fundamental - the NEC has no provision for a circuit that has multiple electrical supplies. |

| ▲ | adrianmonk 16 hours ago | parent [-] | | Hmm, if you have an appliance (like a clothes dryer) with a dedicated circuit, it seems like you could solve this by connecting there. If you have the balcony solar device plug into the wall and the appliance plug into the balcony solar device, then you can easily put an additional circuit breaker where it's needed. |

| Not all homeowners are built for even these simple tasks. I watched someone try to replace a receptacle live, all while wondering why it was arcing and tripping the breaker repeatedly. |

| ▲ | rickydroll 20 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | My solution would be using trade schools to run a homeowner electrician's program, teaching folks basic safety, measurement, and mechanics of what they would need do the work safely. A program like this shouldn't take more than a weekend to cover all the issues including a Hands-On lab. A second weekend could be added for ground mounted solar setups. I'd be willing to pay a couple hundred bucks get such a ticket. | |

| Did something change? Iirc you can do that sort of job yourself. |
