Here in Vermont, I have permitted a 2.16kw Zomeworks tracker with
a Sunnyboy 2500, DC disconnect and AC kwhr meter on the tracker
pole. The AC was run into the house breaker box without an
additional AC disconnect. Both the utility (Green Mountain Power
Corp.) and the Public Service Board OK'ed this.

Add Green Mountain Power to your list.
