<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>the Texas
Dept of Licensing and Regulation has (finally) proposed a Limited Solar
Electric License for installers in Texas. There is currently no
"solar license" in Texas. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Among other
fairly arbitrary and borderline ridiculous potential requirements (IMHO) is a
50 kWDC cap on the size of systems allowed, based on inverter rated output.
Also the license holder may not work on commercial installations.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
