The big concern with grid connected inverters is that they need to shut down instantly if the grid goes down. The latest UL requirements cover this requirement and are more stringent than previous requirements. This is a safety concern, not for the homeowner or user of the inverter, but everyone else who might be connected to or working on the grid in that area. A concern is not burning down a house, but electrocuting a lineman down the road.
