She already got a regular meter installed, she's just wanting to get
the Net meter now. That's sounding like bad news if it isn't grand
fathered in. My thinking is that it would be just like for an old
house: it would need to be safe but only be required to meet the
requirements of the code of the original construction.<br>
This is a really good case for NOT going completely off grid if you
already have grid power.<br>

If it's the SW, that is.<br>

I'm guessing) The tenants had disconnected the grid for almost
2 years and lived in the house off grid. They had also done
many scary wiring "upgrades" using speaker wire out of the
main AC load center.<br>
> The tenants are gone, the AC load center was cleaned up,
and the owner wants to reconnect the GT system, but the
utility is not allowing it since they were disconnected for 2
years. I'm still trying to find out what the requirements
are, but I wanted to ping the list and see what experience
anyone had, and what requirements might be placed in this
situation.<br>
> It seems to me that this system should be grand fathered
in and not be required to meet more than 1999 NEC, but I've
never dealt with this scenario before. Requiring this to meet
2014 NEC would be insane, and even meeting 2008 NEC would be a
deal killer, as the old SW inverters were not UL 1741
compliant. (wasn't even around in 1998 I believe)<br>
> My plan was to inspect the entire system, retorque
connections, perform any necessary repairs, and just confirm
compliance with NEC 1999. There would be little point, if the
utility or AHJ required compliance with a newer code though.<br>
