Are 'plug and play' grid tie inverters such as the SWEA 250W legal and/or in widespread use residentially in Nova Scotia? My understanding is that they are capable of producing a true sine-wave waveform and can have up to 260W of 12V DC input from solar or wind per unit. They can also be daisy-chained together in modular fashion to add more watts as needed. They also have the added benefit of not requiring an electrician to wire the unit permanently into the circuit breaker; they simply plug into any 120V AC plug. They retail for about 300-400$ on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.ca/Solar-cell-panel-Complete-240W-grid-tie-system_W0QQitemZ250438125440QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3a4f468780&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A3%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1308%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 http://www.solarwindsusa.com/SWEA/StarterkitManualEng.pdf Does anybody know about these units?
