Seems like requiring such a switch would have been a more reasonable regulation in this case. Isn't this already legally required in other countries, when feeding power back into the grid?

> Are home generators illegal also?

If the quote is accurate then they are not: "Renewable generator systems". So why does it make a difference to law makers? This sounds utterly bonkers

That's literally exactly what the rule is asking for. See (4)(c) here https://www.flrules.org/gateway/RuleNo.asp?ID=25-6.065

Presumably it matters to lawmakers because they've been paid to neuter solar panel systems.
