In countries like Germany, balcony-mounted solar panels are all the rage. But from breaker-masking to voltage mismatches, America’s grid isn’t ready for it—yet.
America has a lot of stupid, but the majority our electrical systems are very much NOT one of them.

As for crossing the phases, yes you can do that but how many outlets are actually set up like that, you certainly won’t find an outlook configured like that in a bedroom. Each household probably only has one or two 240 volt outlets.
