- Transformer-less inverters
Conventional inverters normally have an isolation transformer either
built-in the unit or connected external to the AC output terminals.
While transformer-less inverter means the AC output circuits (which
may directly connected to the 120Vac/480Vac grid) are not isolated
to the DC input circuits.
What the standard(s) says about this case?
Please see IEC 62109-2, also it was adopted into UL 1741 as
section 88-100.

- Input working voltage over 600Vdc
Though UL 1741 does not specify the max. working voltage is
600V, due to the rating limits of components, the spacing table,
etc., once the input working voltage is more than 600Vdc,
additional evaluations are needed to verify the compliances.
(see Article 690.80 of NEC 70 too)
In Canada, CSA C22.2 # 107.1 stated that it applies to a unit its
rated voltage not exceeding 600 V. What we need to do in the
case of the DC input is up to 1000V?

- Built-in meter accuracy
SGIP(Self-Generation Incentive Program) Handbook and
CSIP(California Solar Initiative Program) Handbook, etc. have meter
accuracy requirements for built-in meter within inverters.
(+/-2% or +/-5% per the applicable protocols of ANSI C12.1)
The accuracy rating of the meter must be certified by an independent
testing body (i.e. a NRTL such as UL or TUV)
