a good friend had a bad panel replaced, the EC pulled a permit for it, and the inspector made them go back and GFCI the outdoor/bath outlets before he would sign off. i KNOW that inspectors in my area will try to, and usually will, force you to bring other items up to current code. The thing about upping the service is you run into other issues. A solar lease/PPA is your best option when you… Are primarily interested in using electricity generated from renewable resources, rather than maximizing the financial benefits of installing a solar panel system Want to avoid the responsibility of maintenance or repairs for a solar panel system Are ineligible for federal or state investment tax credits resulting from your investment in a solar panel system and/or Do not want to wait until the following year to receive the financial benefits of tax credits.
