I have a close friend who wants to put up Solar on his home. He is dead set on it and wants me to do the electrical for it. Last time I checked into solar there were many different styles of systems with micro inverters, large inverters, etc. His house is 4600 sq foot with a large foot print in southern California and we follow 2017 NEC. If this was your house what panels (brand) would you use, what inverter and other associated equipment? Any good reads on the install/technical specifications for that type of system would be great. I look forward to installing something new as well.
All my electrical now is on industrial equipment/mechanical rooms so this is not my wheelhouse but do want to help him out and make sure it is correct and safe for his family. Some of the solar installs I've seen when I was shopping for a house were down right horrible looking and electrical definitely wasn't to code on many. Thanks
