Power generation at a home is a real safety concern. If repairmen have to work on some lines they will cut incoming power and should be confident that the lines would be dead in the area past where the circuit is opened. For instance if a several homes are blacked out when a circuit is opened so a small transformer can be replaced, the repairman will expect the area between the homes and circuit feeding the transformer are dead. But if one of the houses is generating its own power then those lines could be energized and someone gets killed. What is needed is a system that will island the individual home with its own generation when appropriate. There are several ways it can be done. It is not power company BS. Power companies have a responsibility to their employees and contractors.
