PG&E is the ONLY utility that has been requiring a lockable disconnect, and
even then, my experience has been that it depends on the area and the PG&E
representative. I've participated on several jobs in Northern California where
they never asked for a disconnect, and were perfectly happy to let us turn the
system on without it. One job had a 7 kw array! If they don't ask...don't
offer!
