PG&E help! [RE-wrenches]

[starpower4u at juno.com]

Just finished a 54 kW install in Oakland and finding this requirement for additional insurance for me the "Applicant" above and beyond the requirements for the client. This seems to fly in the face of the State net-metering laws and Rule 21 of no additional insurance. Here is a snip from PG&E:

"Please understand that this is not PG&E's specific requirement but a
requirement that was created as a result of AB 970 / CPUC D.01-03-073.  It was established by the State Wide Self-Generation Incentive Program Working Group that is lead by So Cal Gas & Electric Company."

I cannot find this citation. Specifically, they are requiring us to have Errors & Omission Insurance, that we do not carry. How many of you do? 

Has anyone run into this with a >30 kW Utility/CPUC Grant?  Is there a way around it? I suppose we could buy a short term policy and cancel after we get paid, but not if it is unnecessary, I don't want to add the expense and hassle. Can we self-insure? PG&E is looking into the latter.

I appreciate any suggestions or help that anyone can offer!
