Marco:
 
Not only does the CA C-10 exam never mention PV, there is not a whiff of DC.  
Not that it matters; what matters is the six million the IBEW is spending to 
keep the market to themselves. Fifty-five percent of the systems installed 
under the Energy Commission's ERP are by C-46 contractors, whose numbers in the “
Golden” state are in the hundreds, where the IBEW has 10,000 C-10’s.  Next 
states to go, New Jersey and York.

......My point is that the vast majority of licensed electrical contractors 
in this here state know next to nothing about PV, especially high voltage 
grid-connected systems.  And yet these contractors are the only ones legally 
permitted to install PV systems in Hawai'i.  And I know that there is not one single 
PV question on the license exam.  I have to believe that it's a similar 
situation in CA.  And the State of CA. is poised to disenfranchise
those C-46 solar specialists who have installed at least half, HALF of all 
the some odd 13,000 NEM systems in the Golden State...go figure.  That will be a 
sad day when it comes to pass.
