As a follow up, once the utility's technical specialist had this explained to him by the AHJ, he agreed it was fine. He was under the impression that there would be inverter outputs connected directly to the load side of the meter without overcurrent protection and without a suitable way for the utility to turn off the PV system. I didn't go into the fact that they don't require utility externally accessible disconnects anymore for Tier 1 interconnections. I don't need him to understand... just to allow. :)
