    I thought so too. Watched a review on youtube. The properly made ones got all the safety stuff. It turns off if the mains goes out, even if you got multiple of them (they put a signal on top of the sine). They are even limited to like 800W so you can plug them in anywhere without risk of fire, unless you plug like 3 in one outlet.

    I still don’t fully trust them but they are safer then they look. Ofc they come with a lipo battery… but it’s at least not that big of one. I’d rather they come with salt or lead batteries.

    The bigger concern is the pannels themselves. A flying glass sheet is not safe. Then again many fix stuff themselves already, and not many die…
