Utility requiring stamped one-line? [RE-wrenches]

[William Miller]

Max:

Maybe you need to update your curriculum.

The need in the industry is to de-mystify residential grid-tie systems.  If 
we allow building officials, unions or utilities to build up the process to 
appear more complicated than it really is, then installations cost more, 
there are fewer of them completed and the industry, the consumers and the 
environment loses.

A small residential installation is not rocket science and we can not let 
any one try to say otherwise.  We need to fight this trend.
