A Second case of "Premature Excitation"

Arrived home yesterday (1-25-10) and saw a green SRP tag on the solar disconnect panel.  Whoop Whoop !!  I ran over there, saw "Approved" and immediately called SolarCity for "turn-on" instructions.

Turned on the inverter, the disconnect power, and the breaker box power.

After boot-up, the Inverter said, "voltage fault 0.0V."  Sigh.  I called SolarCity back, and the guy said "I'm pretty sure there are 3 SRP inspections, and the FINAL one has to be done with a SolarCity rep present, so you can't turn it on yet.  I will start a ticket on the "0.0V" issue too, so when the final inspection is done by the end of this week, when it gets turned on, everything will be working properly."

We shall see.
