      <p>First, its the added cost of the disconnecting combiner, RT
        breakers, control boards, Main initiator, and extra labor for
        wiring and testing.  I'd say it ads another $2 to $3K of cost. 
        Not a big deal on large systems but for a smaller off grid
        project in the $10K range, its a huge increase in cost.  Folks
        are just going to go DIY with junk off the internet, and the
        code is now under the bus.<br>
      </p>
      <p>We've successfully argued that 690.12 only applies to the PV
        array circuit, not the inverter and battery output.  Which has
        at least kept refrigerators and heating system on during a trip.
        However, because charge controllers hold residual voltage in
        capacitors after the array is disconnected, we have had to add
        RT breakers at the charge controllers to comply with the 30 v in
        10 sec rule.  <br>
      </p>
      <p>My main issue is safety: if the system trips, the customer must
        go onto the roof to manually reset the combiner box to restore
        power. IMO, we have inadvertently traded customer safety in the
        name of fire fighter safety, not a fair bargain at all.  There
        are numerous nuisance faults that require reset, (CAT 5 loose
        connection or induced noise, faulty 9 v battery, naughty
        neighbor) Firefighters will probably only ever be on site to
        strap our poor customer to a back board after they fall off the
        roof in the snow trying to reset their new 690.12 compliant
        system.<br>

                            work in Off-grid mode (as long as you

                            the bottom of what exactly is lost without
                            the RS485 comm.  And to see if TLs are still
                            going to work as the new SIs tech sheet

                              I just checked with SMA and they do not
                              have an RS485 card for the -40 inverters.
                              What this means is that you can set them
                              up to be permanently in off grid mode
                              where the SB will follow the frequency
                              shift of the SI, ok for an off grid
                              system. But for grid tie with backup, the
                              SB will not communicate with the SI and
                              will not change the SB to off grid mode.
                              It will still work like other generic AC
                              coupled systems where the frequency shift
                              will cause the SB inverter to drop off
                              line, but as far as I know no throttling
                              back will happen.<br>

                                    just coming out, looked at the

                                    disappointment I had to send it back
                                    and educate my salesperson to this.
                                    Lucky for me I was able to get the
