[RE-wrenches] Utility disconnect

[Marv Dargatz]

I had a similar situation with my own PV system many years ago.  The utility person demanded a disconnect within 10 feet of the meter.  When I pulled out a copy of the rule 21 interconnect agreement (I'm in California), and pointed out that there was no such requirement, they got on the phone for about 30 minutes, then approved the installation.


See ya!

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Utility disconnect

I just finished a job on a home where the utility didn't require the utility disco.  They contend that the service disconnect on the "farmer panel" meter base will work for them.  I said cool and didn't put one in. The inspector said he couldn't sticker the project because the utility disco was missing. I asked to see where that disconnect is required by code and he said he would get back to me and drove off.


Anyone come across this?
