“ “ConnectDER’s Solar Meter Socket Adapter is one of these potential “game-changers” that has really caught my attention…the main distribution panels in the home are notoriously small, outdated, maxed out, recessed into the wall, not listed for a supply-side interconnection or a combination of the above – making interconnection costly and complex. Utilizing the ConnectDER adapter however can greatly simplify the process – bypassing the existing distribution panel altogether and tying directly in at the meter n both a code-compliant and utility-sanctioned manner.”
