If it can feed back to the grid, it can be a safety issue for electrical workers. Having them know about this stuff before they mess with lines is the safe way to do it.
what if they actually have to work (like, repair) on the lines? how do they make sure nobody’s feeding into the grid? do they go from house to house and ask everyone to unplug their balcony solar plants?
what if somebody’s on holiday and only comes back in 2 weeks and forgot to switch off their infeeding?
Yup, the reason is that undocumented solar panels plugged into the Grid could cause seriously dangerous power spikes and throw off calculations on how much Suppliers need to feed into the Grid. So the only panels that don’t have to be declared and registered with MaStR are ones on top of cars and ones that are so remote that you couldn’t plug them in in any case (but Germany has basically no places remote enough to meet that criteria)
You have to declare that you have a solar panel to the government?
