Hey Guys,
We have this site, where the load from the solar is 1800A, and I am planning to use 5 sets of 500 CU. The interconnection is in the electrical room and ahead of the meter in the main service panel. The problem is there is no space for 5 sets of 500s in the bus (See Attached). There is already 8 sets of 500 AL in the bottom and 4 sets on top. The idea is to connect it on the top, since we have some space, but still not enough for 5 Sets of 500 CU. From the picture, is there a way we could extend the bus (by contacting the manufacturer)? and even if we extend it, will the weight of the wire damage the bus?
Has anyone here dealt with such issue in their past?
