“ “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the home are notoriously small, outdated, maxed out, recessed into the wall,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.”
