Is plug-in solar actually legal? Can you really just plug solar panels into a standard wall outlet and save money every month? Yes—but only if you do it right. In this "Masterclass" compilation, I am walking you through the entire process of setting up a Craftstrom DIY plug-in solar system. We cover everything from the initial unboxing and assembly to the final installation and connecting the smart app. Most people think you need expensive permits and electricians to go solar. This video proves otherwise. By using specific NEC-compliant smart breakers and zero-export technology, we can make plug-and-play solar safe and legal in all 50 US states. WARNING: Plugging standard solar inverters into a wall outlet without the proper safety equipment (like the safety gate shown in this video) is dangerous and likely against code in your area. Watch the full video to see how to do this correctly. Some things shown should only be done by a licensed professional. This video is for entertainment purposes only.
