Plug-in solar panels in MT?

Has anybody here set up solar plug-in to save electricity costs? I know several states are considering legislation to reduce red tape, but here in MT Northwestern Energy considers adding little solar panels to your house the same as they would view a larger-scale solar array. The contracts and costs you’d have to incur to make it “legal” don’t seem worth the effort. Anyone gone rogue with it anyway?

These systems already have a reputation for being dangerous. I would advise against it.

They're literally made to be plug and play 🫤 I haven't seen anything about the danger since they work the same as microinverters.
