I’m wiring a whole house standby that currently has a solar system. The solar circuit connects to the house service at the 200 amp mater/main breaker (load side). The connection is made with a tap splice onto the 4/0 aluminum SER. From there the SER runs to the house panel.
The 200 amp ATS will mount outside next to the meter/main. My question is about where this solar connection should be when the generator wiring is complete. If the tap remains as is the solar system will be feeding into the generator output during an outage. Is this a problem? Or will it just synch up with the generator output like it does when POCO power is being used.
These questions probably tell you how little I know about solar power. Hopefully I’m not the only one on here that can get something out of this question.
