this is one of those things that my gut tells me was wrong.

A new PV install has a line side tap on the conductors feeding the house. Pretty normal. However, the main panel does not have a disco to de-energize the bus.

i failed the installation and stated a main was required because the system was modified. I DO NOT have a code reference for this judgement, however. There are 15 or more breakers on the panel too, So the six handle rule does not apply.

Can I enforce the addition of the main breaker? If so, is there a code reference for this that I could use?

This seems like a serious safety issue to not have a main. Thank you all for the help.
 
Well it turns out that this type of GE panel has a split bus and it does in fact meet the requirements of the 6 handle rule.

i don't like it, but it's not about what I like or don't like...lol
