Comment on Solar panels at Lidl? Plug-in versions set to appear in shopsparent

No your normal socket can be used the other way around without issues and that reverse load doesn't create a problem.

Its even reducing your load on your main line beause the energy directly flows into the next consumer.

German socket has earth, thats fine. It has protection mechanism and shuts down if it can't sync to the powergrid. The panels only produce (in peak!) 400-800 watts. Thats not an issue.

That is very interesting. I guess it makes sense. A properly fitted solar does roughly the same thing. But electics are weird and there are lots of rules that defy intuition. E.g. you can get a shock without a full circuit on AC.
