In our jurisdiction, 10kW-and-under systems fit a simplified
interconnection process. Anything larger requires supplemental
review. It's based on rated inverter AC output capacity. We have
no rebates, but REC payments (now very small) on production.<br>

This just came up for us recently. I learned this,
surprisingly, from a Customer Generation tech at our local
utility. We are installing a GTWB system with two SI5048s
and two SB5000s. The CG tech spoke with SMA tech support
about the possibility of the SIs selling back to the utility
as well as the SBs. He learned that there is a software
patch that can be installed in the SIs that will allow them
to do this, but that SMA will only allow the patch to be
installed upon receiving written permission from the
utility. This was sufficient for our utility to consider our
system to be a 10kW interconnected system.<br>
<br>
This is all I know that may help you; I heard nothing about
"3 seconds". You might want to explore this further with SMA
tech support.<br>
