This disclosure pertains to methods and apparatus for interfacing an onsite power generation system with an existing main electric panel. The interfacing is performed by: attaching an additional jaw connector to a neutral bridge within an existing meter socket; wiring AC supply lines from the onsite power generation system to load side jaws of a five blade meter socket adapter; and wiring a neutral line from the onsite power generation system to an additional terminal of the meter socket adapter. The lines from the onsite power generation system are routed through an opening formed in the meter socket adapter. The meter socket adapter is then inserted into the meter socket so that five jaws in the socket receive all five blades of the meter socket adapter. The blades of the meter are then plugged into the jaws on the opposite end of the meter socket adapter.

The present invention relates to a pressure checking piston and the tools group used by the pressure checking piston. A socket adaptor (70) is stored in the accepting case (5) of the tools group. Besides, the loading tools (60) are embedded at the peristome of the accepting case (5). The loading tools (60), the circumference protuberance (63) at the lower end of the handle part (61) is embedded installed at the circumference trough (7) at the inner peristome of the accepting case (5), and the handle part also acts as the cover of the accepting case. In this way, the handle part (61) can also act as the cover of the accepting case (5), so it does not need the cover of the tools group of itself. At the state that the casing (20) is absorbed at the loading tools (60), the loading tools can not installed at the accepting case (5) in the tools group. Therefore, when we unloads the casing (20) of the pressure checking piston using the loading tools (60) and the pressure checking or the air stripping has finished, it can avoid that we forget to install the casing (20) again. In this way, it can avoid the careless exposing of the piston inner part, and it will not reduce the operation character when we do experiment.
