AFAICT it's not clear that SCCFD even knows about the report, and if they don't know, they can't get and can't evaluate.

That's not the same. The UL9540A test report would be an NRTL document. It's just up to the manufacturer to decide who to share it with.When SolarEdge first came out with their white paper that said that they don't need string fusing when three strings are combined, one AHJ we deal with said that since the document came from the same company as the product they would not accept it.

I doubt it. Just knowing the organizations involved and having dealt with UL9540A reports with other Bay Area jurisdictions (and a different manufacturer), as well as the nature of the market in their jurisdiction, I would bet SCCFD has had ample opportunity to review the report.AFAICT it's not clear that SCCFD even knows about the report, and if they don't know, they can't get and can't evaluate.

It is a shame that Tesla does not share with us the report they supposably provide to AHJs. We could be an advocate for reasonable decision making if we knew what was in it.
The marketing and legal depts don't want the post-test images of the equipment circulating on the interwebs.

Then I don't get it. Why wouldn't the manufacturer put it out on the web for anyone and everyone to see? Email it to anyone who asks for it? Print it out on leaflets and drop them from planes?That's not the same. The UL9540A test report would be an NRTL document. It's just up to the manufacturer to decide who to share it with.

See my last post.
That's why SE went and got a letter from Bill Brooks saying it was okay.When SolarEdge first came out with their white paper that said that they don't need string fusing when three strings are combined, one AHJ we deal with said that since the document came from the same company as the product they would not accept it.
Tesla is really careful about photos of their equipment. I was in an area where some Tesla supercharges were being worked on so I was talking to the tech. They said that I could watch but I can't take any photos of the open superchargers.The marketing and legal depts don't want the post-test images of the equipment circulating on the interwebs.
