Hi,
This question concerns the interconnection of a PV system.
I would like to do a line-side tap on a home in the SF Bay Area (PG&E territory). The main panel is a bit weird. Basically, it's an MLO-type panel w/ only one circuit breaker in it (and only has room for one circuit breaker). That breaker protects a subpanel circuit. The customer does not want to interconnect in the subpanel because it's in the garage. Makes things a little difficult.
Essentially, I just want to know the appropriate way to do this to Code. As a designer/PM, I've figured out many different interconnection strategies, but this is new territory for me. For example, I believe the connection has to be protected by a fused disconnect (but I suppose a circuit breaker would be fine, too). What are the rules and confinements concerning this approach?
Thanks!
Andy
