No CEC rebates for Trace inverter systems? [RE-wrenches]

[Joel Davidson]

Michael - thanks for the pointer. The CEC web site notice is also dated Friday, December 7, 2001. On Friday, a customer told me that PG&E has stopped approving Trace inverter interconnections.  My customers and clients have over $5 Million worth of active
projects that will use Xantrex inverters. I estimate over $25 Million active projects are at risk with probably the same amount of new business not being ordered by customers who are afraid that their systems will not be approved by inspectors, utility
interconnect, CEC and other rebate programs. This is a very serious problem. What's the word from Xantrex?
