2013 Ca Elect Code 408.36(A) - a "snap switch" includes circuit breakers (404.1)
This should give the Tiger some breathing room if we follow suit, it appears that over half his poor quality work posts are solar.\ said:Britain's solar boom is over after ministers announced they would offer virtually no subsidies for people to install panels on their homes.In a surprise move, ministers on Thursday said that they plan to slash the amount of money given to families who put solar panels on their homes.
Under the new proposals, the amount paid to homeowners under the “feed-in tariff” from next year will fall by nearly 90 per cent. Experts said that it will lower the payments to households by around £192 a year.
The Coalition government introduced a generous subsidy scheme to encourage households to install solar panels, triggering a boom that far exceeded ministers’ expectations.
Tens of thousands of people were trained to install the panels and around 700,000 families had them put on their homes to take advantage of the subsidies.
The annual cost of the scheme is now estimated to be in excess of £800 million a year - almost twice the level ministers originally anticipated, as a result of the early boom.
Critics say the scheme, which was heavily pushed by energy firms, enables wealthy families to rake in subsidies paid for by many who are already struggling with their energy bills.
The energy department on Thursday insisted said that households that have already had panels installed will not see their subsidies cut.
However, campaigners warned that the cut will mean that households will no longer benefit financially if they install solar panels, effectively destroying the domestic renewables industry.
Mr Cameron was in 2013 criticised after it emerged that he had told aides to “get rid of the green crap” which was adding money to homeowners’ energy bills.¹
It's not half.....now that my area has been cut I don't have many solar jobs. I am against subsidies in general. It is my money that supports tha solar industry. Any industry that will dry up unless they get their hands on my money should fail.conarb said:Great Britain is ending it's solar program, the wealthy took advantage of it and it's costing the poor, the utilities don't sell power, they install and maintain "poles and wires" somebody's got to pay for the poles and wires.This should give the Tiger some breathing room if we follow suit, it appears that over half his poor quality work posts are solar.

But...... that shop teacher is teaching the next generation of tradesmen, inspectors, even architects and engineers.\ said:A plan checker showed me this lug and I said that it can't be used. The shop teacher didn't believe the plan checker because there are about twenty of them mounted on the rail.
By the time that we are done, he should have a pretty good understanding of solar. I have to teach one person how to do it one time. There's not a lot of satisfaction in that.conarb said:But...... that shop teacher is teaching the next generation of tradesmen, inspectors, even architects and engineers.

They did this with fire sprinklers too, even sprinkler contractors have to hire certified sprinkler fitters.\ said:CSLB Zero Tolerance Policy In Effect for Non-Compliant Electricians
Per Board direction at its June 11, 2013 meeting, this bulletin is being reissued.
SACRAMENTO — The Contractors State License Board (CSLB) established a zero-tolerance enforcement policy in 2010 and now issues legal action against any C-10 Electrical contractor who willfully employs an uncertified electrician to perform work as an electrician.
CSLB is legally required to open an investigation and initiate disciplinary action against the contractor (which may include license suspension or revocation) within 60 days of receipt of a referral or complaint from the Department of Industrial Relations’ Division of Apprenticeship Standards (DAS).
Labor Code section 108.2 stipulates that anyone who performs work as an electrician for C-10 Electrical contractors shall hold an electrical certification card issued by DAS; DAS is required by Labor Code section 108.2 to report violations to CSLB.
Electricians are defined as those who engage in the connection of electrical devices for C-10 contractors. It is CSLB’s position that electrical work must be performed by either a state-licensed or a certified electrician. An indentured apprentice or state-registered electrician trainee may also perform electrical work if supervised by a state-certified electrician. Trenching, concrete, framing, and other work that does not involve connecting electrical devices may be performed by noncertified workers.

Well here they apparently don't enforce the permit requirement, at least you do that, looking at the wall there was no service change since the old recessed panel with the meter socket is still there, but there are 4 new ugly panels surface mounted on the wall.\ said:So conarb, I am way familiar with the Ca rule but trust me on this, virtually no AHJ enforces that. At least not in residential and few if any commercial. I have enforced it on large projects and the contractors were pleased about that. They made the effort to get it and nobody ever asks them for it.
You suggesting that I sue you and get a writ to force you to enforce the law?ICE said:Ever heard of a Writ of Mandamus?
Well you are retired and an attorney. You could start with San Francisco. After you succeed in shutting down construction, the State will repeal the law.conarb said:You suggesting that I sue you and get a writ to force you to enforce the law?
