<p>I appreciate the input. The whole house disco could be an
option.</p>
<p> This utility also sends out a letter as soon as I request
potential customer interest and their most recent 12 month's power
history. The letter states: "When analyzing the potential
payback of solar power, assume that the future cost for energy
from PSREC will be its wholesale cost of power, currently about
$0.05 per kWh, and not the current retail rate of $0.1478 per kWh.
This may affect the payback of your investment in a solar system."</p>
<p>Gotta love it.</p>

What got the PG&E lockout lifted was no-one knew who had the

locked, or who kept the keys, just to name a few.

Here in my part of Minnesota the utilities won't
allow you to do a whole premise disconnect. The
lockable solar disconnect must serve the solar
only and must be located within 6' of the meter.<br

Anybody had any of their GT systems
locked-out by their utility with the AC
disco? I'm dealing with a utility that still
insists in installing an AC disco no matter
what the conditions are and in this very rural
area this can mean running an extra line out
to the meter/main 100+ ft from the house
(distribution panel back at the house). So
backhoe, labor, materials and Oops the backhoe
hit a propane line. Do they actually have a
box of hundreds of locks to be able to
lock-out PV systems? I doubt it. Would
appreciate knowing for a discussion with their
engineer.<br class="">
