    The 2014 code just came out.
    little discussion about it.
    And, uncharacteristically for the NEC, it actually both clarifies some points about PV and makes the rules less restrictive and arbitrary!

      We are not on it yet here. Less restrictive I am not so sure about. Only a few system designs I know of that will meet the code.
      Next code cycle only one right now.

        Yes, what I should have said is that it made some of the restrictions from previous code cycles less restrictive and more rational, but added several major new requirements, such as DC AFCI and Rapid Shutdown.
        And other than the fact that they increase the cost substantially and require equipment that is not being manufactured yet, the new restrictions are well thought out.
