Man, was my original drawing that confusing?
I thought I simplified it quite a bit, compared to the Xantrex info I had when I started!
Here's the latest rendition, added some stuff. Also added color to the little arrows to aid in seeing where things are flowing. Green arrows are...you guessed it, green energy, and red is utility energy.

George, the drawling on the grid tie system makes no since, looks as though your feeding the system twice like a loop.
Not so, as Bob pointed out.
The size of the arays or the zantrex inverter are not shown but the drawling is defently incorrect.
And as I said in the first post, or immediately thereafter, I am not doing the PV portion of the install, therefore the specifics of the PV does not matter to me one iota, beyond how many watts the thing will spit out, so I don't overload it on my end.
Even though the solar installer is not the EC making the final connection to the system, the EC contractor is responsable for the system.
I am only responsible insofar as the level I load it to. I intend to have this firmly documented, as the owner has made it perfectly clear he intends to tinker once I am gone.
Have the dralings from the solar installer send the diagram to fsec to be certified.
I'll get right on that, PM me for my address, and you can mail me the check for my time.
Guarantee it will be rejected. In a solar wiring diagram all details need to be included.
And if this was a solar wiring diagram, not a service one-line, I would expend the extra effort to draw those details. That is on the solar installer (who answers to the AHJ) to provide for the AHJ (which does not answer to FSEC, and as far as I know has never stood on Floridian soil), which will not approve the installation without a detailed diagram and an inspection.
Long way to go, good luck. Perry
Thanks, and have a nice day.
