one for you. We have a customer whose utility provider is L.A. Dept. of
Water & Power; he's getting ready to install his battery-based grid-tie
system with a Radian inverter, load center, HUB4, eight - 250W
modules....etc. But the inspector is calling foul, saying his 'battery
bank is a parasitic load" <SPAN class=647483619-24092013><FONT

battery bank is a “generator”</FONT> </SPAN></FONT>so he must utilize a straight

legal.<SPAN class=647483619-24092013><FONT
