Does his system meet code?

If so, it demonstrates that the article is, uh, not well researched.

Yes it was completely done to code. Here is the explanation of his inverter: http://www.smainverted.com/how-to-explain-secure-power-suppl...

The inverter doesn't backfeed for emergency power, it just has a separate output wired to a single outlet for emergency power.

Yeah I linked that page a few days ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15247172 ).

But the article would have us believe that it is illegal to use those inverters in Florida.
