[RE-wrenches] PV testing and turn-on /was mechanical vs. electronic kwh meter

[Keith Cronin]

Out here, we usually need to wait, as many meters have been swapped for digital flavored ones.

So, test system and turn off, so client doesn't get a cumulative bill for what they normally use, plus the pv.
 
Aloha,


Keith

Another issue I have locally is the utility telling me “you can turn it on to test it, but you can’t leave it on until inspected and the meter is changed out”. That is the extent of their policy. Nothing in writing, which is what I am pushing for. What do other utils nationwide have? Formal maximum turn-on / test / turn-off time periods before inspection? In writing? Or seat of the pants?
