Graham,
Thanks for the heads-up.
Well, I'm not too happy about that, but I really don't think it will 
have any more impact than the failed Astropower/SMA/Home Depot deal. 
In CA, where homeowners can do their own systems, some may be (or 
think they are)  competent enough to go that route. And, some 
electricians (or B, C-46, whatever, licensees who think they are) of 
small brain might install same. Any wrench who realizes that they are 
on the hook for five years on a system where they got only labor out 
of the deal will run, not walk away from a deal like that. The others 
will give PV a black eye and the CEC, apparently, looks the other 
way. You guys in CalSeia really should police your own backyard. I'm 
amazed that you haven't offered that service to the CEC or the CSLB 
Industry Expert programs. You are missing the boat.
I don't know the rules in NJ, but in OR, where the installer HAS to 
be a licensed wrench AND be part of a "trade ally" network, AND be on 
the hook for two years, AND pass both a county inspection and a 
system output inspection before the Wrench gets paid, it ain't gonna 
sell at all.
