    Not allowed in Australia without legislation anyway,.owners groups would shit their pants.

    And they plug them into thier mains electrical systems how ? I can see them charging a battery and you get an inverter to run something from the battery but that’s not the same thing.

      They have an inverter that increases the voltage to 230V and then you can plug it into a regular outlet. The cables don’t care in which direction the electricity flows. It only becomes an issue at the power meter, but newer ones prevent backflow and usually these small PV systems don’t produce enough to not be consumed by always on stuff like refrigerators anyways.
