Hello, I am looking for some knowledge on how a PV section in a switchboard works. There is a 4 section switchboard 1 section for Utility CTs, another section for PV circuit breaker, another section for main circuit breaker, and final section for loads. Does the solar input go through the main breaker to the loads or does it go straight to the loads tself? The main breaker is 2500A and the solar breaker is 1200A. There is no battery backup, so what is the intent of the solar? to reduce the utility consumption as thus reduce bill? In this case, is is safe to assume the utility and solar run at the same time? How is this possible and how does it work to make the solar source as the "first" level consumption and then take the from the utility only what it needs?
