Grid Tied PV on Area Networks [RE-wrenches]

[Sky Sims]

That pretty much sums it up Ray. But the problem is that the net
metering rules aren't clear enough that they put the penalties on the
utility side of the table in all states.

I may be off base here, but it seems if the state has net metering  
laws in place, that the utility needs to allow interconnection. If  
this is a problem down stream for them, then its their problem to  
fix, but they shouldn't deny our customers the right to net meter.  
And their original argument that this would cause a safety risk to  
personnel due to back feed doesn't hold water either, right?
