HI Jeff, I don't see how you could as the equipment isn't UL listed.
Then you'd have the issue of what equipment are people going to be plugging into it, and none of that would be UL either. I think its great stuff and would love to see it happen, but I'd also like to know how, but if anyone can pull it off it'll be you, Good luck, jay peltz power On Aug 9, 2011, at 10:28 AM, Jeff Clearwater wrote: > Esteemed Wrenches, > > Is there any possibility at all I can install a 230/400 50 Hz Sunny Island > Micro-grid in the U.S. or Canada and have it meet code?
