I was not aware that the goal was to install the point of connection
ahead of the meter. The section says: "A photovoltaic
power source shall be permitted to be connected to the supply side of the
<u>service disconnecting means</u>..."(emphasis added). The
goal is to be down stream of the utility meter. Otherwise you are
giving away your PV generated electricity.<br><br>
Granted this is not always easy, but most switch gear has provisions for
a fire pump and this is the point where you connect.<br><br>
