I guess you could look at it as if the solution on the left is a central inverter + power optimizers.

I’ve read there are panels that backfeed into a standard wall plug. Next thing you know people will be running them from the roof down through open windows like I’ve seen people do for their satellites. Scary![/quote]

You’d still need a DC-AC conversion in there somewhere.

Sounds similar to the batteries plugged into a wall plug that I was talking about. I’m gonna hang back on that one – I’m not a beta-tester kind of guy. 🙂
