Right now, I'm doing a small off grid system with a transfer switch. Panels on a pergola, and maybe some 4-5 ground mounted, but I was wondering if anyone else as seen this with other utilities. I bet if you tell them going to use a hybrid inverter without batteries, they require another meter between the inverter and main service panel. The only way they allow a single meter is if you use a GT system only. I suppose could go online find a used GT inverter then later replace it with a newer hybrid and add batteries. The only issue I see with that is even with CT clamps they still will see a tiny bump of power coming from the inverter even if you turn off back feeding to them. Probably not an issue during the day, but at night they don't expect to see that.
Searching around here I found some threads some had received letters from their utilities they had connected a DIY GT with the CT clamps the utility sent a letter to them. I'm sure this utility would do more than just send a letter they send someone to inspect. I would not be surprised if they use google maps to find people with solar who are not permitted.
Off-grid only way this works with this utility.
