but does it connect to your house or.. you just have to plug things into this?

Would have to plug things into the inverter. There are microinverters that basically allow you to plug panels into your house though (by syncing with the frequency of the power you’re getting from the grid). They’re much more expensive than this, and I think you’re not supposed to use those in the US unless you go through some sort of approval process. It’s becoming more popular in Germany for people to use microinverters for solar panels on stuff like apartment balconies.
