Yes I am splitting hairs. It is important for me to know what my rights are and that is why I have researched this. California follows the same concept as the US Constitution. The legislature makes the laws (statutes). They have delegated some of that to the Counties and Cities. They have not delegated any of that lawmaking authority to the CPUC. It is just a Commission to regulate the IOUs. That may be different in your state or another country. In California the municipal utilities are not regulated by the CPUC because they are run by elected city officials. That is why I use the term IOUs (Investor Owned Utiities) for the entities regulated by the CPUC. Since those cities adopt the building codes they may very well have laws that govern zero export inverters. I do not know because I do not live in one of those cities. It all depends on where you are standing.Personally, I think you are splitting hairs between authorities.
