We have a 200 amp service that has a 200 amp breaker at the meter as well as a 200 Main breaker in the panel. We wanted to perform a supply side tap, but between the meter and the first 200 amp breaker is busing, so we put our taps on the 4/0 SER wires between the 200 amp breaker at the meter and the 200 Main breaker at the panel. Our solar PV is supplying approximately 120 amps. The question is that since there is a breaker on each end of the 4/0 wire, does the wire need to be rated to carry the combined load of the service AND the PV or does the current limiting device on both ends mean that our tap is code compliant?
