Dan:
Your observation is absolutely the truth. I was required to install a
disconnect when I put my system in. Every time I see a line crew in the
neighborhood I would stop them and ask if they new there was a grid-tie
system nearby. The answer was always that their plans did not indicate
grid-tie systems.

PS: When we remodeled I replaced my service and removed the disconnect.

Hello Joel --
Well, you can be assured that both NREL and IREC are on your side. They
were very convincing about dropping UEDS requirements at this seminar.
Funny how utilities can require UEDSs, but none of them have the
procedures, personnel or infrastructure to actually *use* them.
Imagine a 'green neighborhood' with PV on each of four dozen homes. Figure
at least 10 minutes each for the utility to locate and tag / lock out each
UEDS...and the same to re-commission them after the incident. And how many
utility trucks carry 4 dozen locks?
I won't go into any more UEDS issues here, but I will be writing about
them soon and publish the link here on the list.
