[RE-wrenches] Request for Enphase inverter comments

[Marv Dargatz]

Wrenches,

The Enphase system meets all regulatory requirements for a utility 
interactive PV system.  Also, we were very careful and thorough in 
making sure that it meets all NEC requirements.  If you run into an AHJ 
who has objections, please put them in contact with our Customer Support 
people at (877)797-4743.

Any new technology raises new questions, and there are always some 
doubting Thomas's.  We have been dealing with this on a case by case 
basis.  Usually it is just a matter of education.

Both Bill Brooks and John Wiles are well aware of our products and their 
application in the field.  We can certainly ask for their assistance in 
addressing AHJ objections.

Regarding disconnects; connectors can serve as disconnects.  Also, 
690.18 specifically allows an opaque covering to disable the module. 
This is especially appropriate with a micro-inverter connected to a 
single module.

Please let me know if I can help.

See Ya!
