Don't they have grid-tie requirements? I support mandating that

Grid tie is different than just pluging power producing devices into an outlet. because that's how people die

Its a relatively simple problem to solve, and it's handled just fine in Germany. The panels just get routed through an inverter that cuts power if mains power is cut off.
