I don't mind cutting off the feed from the solar panel to the grid, if there are crews working on the lines, or other reasonable events.

I don't want them cutting off my solar panels from being able to feed my house or my batteries, unless all my batteries are all full and there's no power draw from my house.

If they don't want my solar power, then it's fine for them to refuse to accept it, but the decision of what to do with that remaining power should be left entirely on my end.




agree -- no experimental evidence but I suspect that the power cutoff is "no more power from those panels" not "power is available but no grid connection"; secondly it is annoying to not have any say over when or how long that connection is off. I tend to view the relationship in cynical terms, I admit. The quality of the physical equipment though, is notable.
