Edison's "toaster test"

Why is Edison wanting to "test" inverters and "inspect" solar systems as if we are in the 1950's and the electron is to be feared?

The test is like someone coming to your home and turning on your toaster and waiting for it to pop! When was the last time a brand new toaster didn't pop? Do you think a solar installer is qualified to know if a toaster (inverter) is working properly?

This is a money grab by Edison and forces clients to wait for a month for the inspector to show up before they get credit for their solar system.
