All good, I appreciate what you built! On desktop with Windows 11. I just tried it again and it was much easier to see the info (thru hover) than before.
This is awesome. It'd be even more awesome if it was easier to show a power plant's info upon hover / click. ...It's currently too much of a cat-and-mouse game for me.
> the transfer switch variety switches your house between the inverter and the grid whereas the disconnect just physically disconnects the inverters output
Thanks, and I agree that a DIY-inverter designer should be able to meet grid-interconnection requirements (e.g. IEEE 1547-2018). With that said, I think case-by-base evaluation from the AHJ would be prudent without a UL listing... something that AHJs don't want to do.
I'd prefer to just put the DIY inverter behind a transfer switch (with an adequate battery bank and maybe a small propane generator)... with the grid as emergency fallback.
Not that this is accepted by insurers or AHJs ("authorities having jurisdiction"), but one can use UL-certified components in an (open-source) _assembly_ that itself isn't UL certified. This at least supports the argument that the overall product is safe if thoughtfully designed and assembled. An example is the OpenEVSE level-2 car charger (which I had a really good experience with).
The creator of OpenClaw, for example, has come to appreciate grammatical / spelling errors in human writing (as he said in a recent Lex Fridman interview).
Loosely related: This Lex Fridman discussion with a nuclear-fusion engineer, about 1-million-amp 100-million-degree electrical systems... blew my mind: https://lexfridman.com/david-kirtley
For me, there's a sharp binary:
If I ask AI to "own" a coding-problem solution — with me passing back the failure responses until resolved — my mind gets numb and I learn nothing.
If I insist on owning the solution — using AI in my effort to better understand the problem space — my mind is active and I get better at coding.
Sometimes I'm lazy and fall into the former. But mostly, so far, the latter.

So pair this with back-to-basics tech (e.g. text files)... that can serve us extremely well.
