I looked up the Municipal Codes
(<a href="http://www.ci.yorba-linda.ca.us/~ci26/how-do-i/get/get-city-codes" eudora="autourl">http://www.ci.yorba-linda.ca.us/~ci26/how-do-i/get/get-city-codes</a>)
and this requirement is right in there. I hope you have a provision
in your contract that allows for additional billing for unanticipated
engineering fees. Everyone should. If you need language,
contact me off line.<br><br>
Fortunately I have never experienced anything like this. This
requirement sounds unreasonable. It is sort of like asking an air
conditioning contractor to have the air conditioning unit tested in the
field. Individual solar components are listed. The combining
of the components is facilitated by the manufacturers specifications and
on-line sizing tools. Having said that, an amateur can easily screw the
design and installation of even the most simple grid-tie system.
This provision is the ultimate consumer protection. It sounds
onerous at first but does have a benefit.<br><br>
Good luck, and give us a hint how much this certification
costs.<br><br>

The following is an item we got back from the City of Yorba Linda for a
Plan Check correction:<br>
<br>
<br>
All electrical solar systems shall be tested and approved by a
California Registered Electrical Engineer. The engineer shall
furnish a report stating their name, registration number, its date of
expiration, address where the testing occurred and the dates of testing
and approval. Such report shall be presented to the City inspector
for approval at the time of final inspection. (YLMC
15.28.020) Note on the plans.<br>
<br>
All experiences and suggestion are appreciated.<br><br>
