        <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>

                                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
