Batteries</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><BR>I have come to a conclusion: Utility companies serve
two (2) purposes: 1) To safely and profitably distribute electrical power and
2) To drive PV integrators insane. <BR><BR>The particular utility of
which I speak, Allegheny Power, was responsible for convincing the Maryland
PUC for requiring External Disconnect Switches on PV installs if they are to
be eligible for REC generation. Now they have finally gotten around to
inspecting a system we installed a year ago where the EDS was located on the
opposite side of the house from the meter (we made our interconnection at a
sub-panel) and they are requiring us to move it back to the meter location (or
install a 200A external service disconnect).<BR><BR>Does anyone know of any
documentation from a utility or AHJ that accepts a weatherproof label (or
plack) on the meter indicating the location of the EDS when it is not
convienient for the meter and EDS to be co-located?<BR><BR><BR>Andrew
Truitt<BR>Standard Solar Inc.<BR><BR><BR clear=all><BR>-- <BR>"Don't get me
wrong: I love nuclear energy! It's just that I prefer fusion to fission. And
it just so happens that there's an enormous fusion reactor safely banked a few
million miles from us. It delivers more than we could ever use in just about 8
minutes. And it's wireless!"<BR><BR>~William McDonough<BR><BR>
