Well, we would fall under the 'By Special Permission' claus in exception #4 of 230-2(a). Besides, I'm only reasonably, not entirely, certain the panels will be metered separately.
However, this illustrates my concern. I think the fire responder issue would apply to anyone who may have to work on the system in the future. Imagine getting into a J-box thinking you've killed the circuits and discovering there are others from who knows where that are still live?
I think this is a really poor design, but am not able to locate a code section to prevent it. Thanks again for your help,
