No I doubt SCE will notice. If they call just tell them you cleaned the panels
How about this: I pull a permit like I'm suppose to, and get the city approval and inspection, but don't bother with SCE. I'm not sure that the city inspection involves SCE in any way. When I upgraded my breaker panel from 100A to 200A SCE shut my power off, but otherwise had nothing to do with the permit and inspection. Shouldn't need SCE at all for installing a second system.
It's a slippery path. SCE owns the incoming wire and they can disconnect you any time if they find out and they will keep you off-grid until you bring the system to their requirements, size-wise or else.

It answers some of your questions, for one adding a battery doesn't automatically kick you up to NEM 2.0. It also sounds like you can have a mix of NEM 1.0/2.0 on a single installation through a multi-tariff application and it appears you can add up to one 1kW in your situation and remain on NEM 1.0.
