Nice rant, Matt!

When I'm training fire departments in PV safety, I always use a comment I stole from Michael Coddington of NREL And Michael Sheehan of IREC from the Solar ABCs / NREL web lecture on utility external disconnect switches -- Rather than PV or battery backup systems, what firefighters and utility workers should *really* be concerned about is the homeowner who went to Home Depot or Lowes on Dec 31, 1999, purchased a generator and automatic transfer switch, and wired it all up wrong. It's estimated that up to 100,000 of these were installed.
