The most popular suicide cord I see is a dryer plug connected to a 10ga cord with a twist lock on the other end. I bet there are 10 of them in my neighborhood alone. I try to explain how easy it is to do it right but they just want the lights on. Everyone says they will get together with me and do it right as soon as the power comes back on but nobody is interested in doing it then. The only person who was willing to do anything was the one who screwed up and ended up with a floating neutral.. They blew up a bunch of stuff and when the lights came on they ordered a Generac 15kva system.
I agree that micro inverter thing made a big splash when it came out and then just went away.
