You can safely feed in a lot more than 800 W if you know what you're doing, but it's illegal.

It's not illegal you need to talk to your utility. For one, they probably want you to produce three-phase.

I am talking about simple plug-in Balkonkraftwerk. Larger PV installations are a different regulation framework, and need to be signed off on by licensed professionals. Much more expensive, mich longer ROI.
