California Wrenches,<br>
<br>
One of my utilities which is still offering rebates for <br>
grid tie went to the Go Solar California website to see that the newest <br>
SMA TL inverters (5.0 and 6.0) are on the "approved" list which of <br>
course it is. However, in the "Approved built-in meter" column shows a <br>
"NO" for it. My utility wants me to add an additional, separate meter <br>
to show KWhr power production. I've talked with SMA about this and <br>
the onboard monitor gives KWhrs and they've showed me their docs for it, <br>
but my utility is still using the fact that the Go Solar site says no.<br>
<br>
How have others dealt with this or is it just my utility that's made an <br>
issue of this?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
