The owner wants to install a grid-tied passive solar system into the electrical system of a new building. Grid power is 240v/600a. The power company is fine with the grid-tie system but requires a cut-off outside ? so THEY can control it - next to the meter box to prevent passive power backflowing to the grid when they don?t want it to. But when the cut-off is thrown, the customer still needs to have grid power to the MB panel. I?ve looked at auto and manual 600amp transfer switches and double throw disconnects but when you jump up to 600amps, the prices go over $4k. Anyone know of a less expensive device or way to meet the cut-off requirement but still feed grid power to the MB panel?
