I wonder if they would do something illegal?
1. like opening their main breaker
2. opening ALL their breakers
3. connecting the output of a 220 generator or 12v to 220 inverter to a 220 outlet?
4. and then close a few breakers, where they needed some back-up juice?

If those Enphase units woke up, that could be pretty sweet..

I dont see why it will be illegal since you cut off to the grid. I know that how people hook up their generator. The problem will be where will the excess power goes, when you use less than the solar inverter output.
