Hello Wrenches,

Here in Gainesville, Fla. we have recently adopted a Feed In Tariff. 
So, now we are supposed to directly feed the line side of the utility meter
(essentially a new service). No big deal. 
As usual we use an AC disco between the inverter and the grid. However, the
permit department is requiring that we install and additional disco between
the existing service feed and the distribution panel to group all disco's in
the same location. This especially adds an additional expense when dealing
with 3 phase systems as well as the raises the question, is this really the
National Electrical Code or just an interpretation? Your thoughts?

the adapter that lets you use 1/4" drive bits and your good to go. It is a
german tool and i use it on all breaker connections as well as others.

We have a great torque wrench for snugging down module clamps, Sharp SRS
bolts, etc. What do folks use to insure that wire terminals are torqued to
spec? We're talking 1.1 to 3.3 N-m (10-30 in-lbs). I'm imagining something
compact like an over-sized screwdriver.
