Does the disconnect need to be within site from the tap location or can it be remotely mounted?
Well I understand all, am well within all applicable codes but this AHJ is telling me that I need a disconnect "within site" guess I gotta listen...

Not specifically a disconnect but Tap conductors must terminate into an OCPD which in turn will act like a disconnect.I dont believe there is any requirement for a disconnect.

Question to the OP. In sight from what? You mean the OCPD has to be within sight of where the tap is made? So another words you have to be able to see the tap and the OCPD at the samem time?

Or perhaps provide a link to this thread. :happyyes:Ask for a code reference.
Sure looks to me like disconnect (likely containing OCP) and "within sight" of tap location are the conditions being asked about in the OP.
There is no such requirement. It is fairly common for them to both be within sight but not a requirement.
Again, not required by the NEC. However, some POCO's require a line-side-tapped PV system disconnect to be adjacent to the service disconnect.OK here are the details;
PV system, tap in the MSP and then immediately outside to a fused knife swicth with no equipment located indoors.

Now that a little more information has been given, that is a fair question, and changes the discussion if it is a tap to a service conductor.Hold on: is this a feeder tap or a service conductor tap?
