Not in my blue state, because the utilities lobbied against it.

Anybody aware of specific plug-in systems that work in the US?
I think looking for Utah based retailers might be a good starting point. From what I’ve read it’s best to have a dedicated circuit so that it can feed the panel directly
So, I found an 800 watt package system on Amazon (for about $1500) that looks like it’s reselling Northern Electric Power (NEP) microinverters with panels.

This place has their (NEP) 1200lv microinverter going for about $260 shipping this may.

This one is another brand’s microinverter, also about $250.

Which is not bad considering I see used 250watt panels going for about 50 bucks on Facebook all the time. Could probably set up a decent emergency system, to put in the backyard, for under $600. Keeping in mind reduced output of used panels.💁
Edit: tho as you say, adding another circuit would probably cost a pretty penny unless you can find an electrician to do a little work on the side.
Kelly: “US Balconyzation”
HOA has asked that you take down your unsightly panels.
Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.
pretty much a dead giveaway to your utility that you’re up to shenanigans if you ask for a smart meter, otherwise your meter makes you pay for the energy you produce
