Hello Gents,
I need to feed 9 KW of PV into a 200A service. Currently 200 main brkr/200 rated. With distribution.
I need at least 2p50A for PV. As we all know, 40A max allowed.
No, i cannot use a single, 32A AC rated output inverter (eg SMA SB8000US, Fronius 7500). This is due to split orientations and string sizes. Panels: 30 South and 6 East.
Service upgrade to 400A? Expensive.
Any knowledge of a 200 A meter/main panel I could have the electricain (I am just doing the pv) replace the current one with? Point would be to have a spot for the (N) pv brkr as a main disconnect brkr.
Your knowledge appreciated!
btw- this bugs me so much: if panels simply had a spot for an add'l main....the whole 120% rule would be a non-issue. And it is a big issue.
