Plugged Solar Utility approval?

It is legally allowed by utilities to use our PluggedSolar kit. We have installations and utility connections in most of the states. There are some confusions that we will make it clear. There was intention of US DOE to make plug-play solar to reduce cost by making solar simpler. http://energy.gov/articles/going-solar-record-time-plug-and-play-pv In the market, there are many Chinese made low cost micro grid tie inverters which are used as solar pluggable system. However, they are not UL approved (with UL-1741 code). They are not approved by any utility, power company or any government department. This inability created many questions and online bloggers kept writing in general about issues. So, many sites do write that these type of systems are illegal, because people put it without utility interconnection approval. Some blogger even try to defame our PluggedSolar and now they are slowly removing and editing all the post after understanding our system. Our PluggedSolar Kit has a patent pending technology, where the same high quality solar panels (25 yrs warranty) and grid tie inverters (5 yrs warranty) are used as in the professional solar installations by solar licensed contractors across the country. These are manufactured by mega companies. The key differentiator is the output voltage of our PluggedSolar kit. The PluggedSolar has output voltage of 120V AC which makes it pluggable as an appliance where as the solar installations have 240V AC, which requires a licensed electrician to connect and makes it costly installation. Also, PluggedSolar kit has easier DIY installation mountings for solar panels. All the components of PluggedSolar are UL approved and so, utilities and power companies are approving it. As stated by Dept. of Energy, there is 50% cost saving if solar becomes plug-play. We have come up with that system. PluggedSolar makes the solar energy affordable and comparable to the conventional Co2 producing power plant electricity. Please see our demonstration.
