Got my license last year and finally got my first service upgrade job. It's been so long since I've done one since I most do commercial.
I was looking through the code book just to make sure I'm up to speed but I just wanted to ask here to make sure.
From what I can tell I'll need a service disconnect outside. Obviously bond it to the grounding electrodes and the bonding bridge which I'll also have to install.
There is a photo voltaic disconnect tapped directly off the service before the breaker. It feeds a 20 amp fused disconnect with #6's.
I don't see anything about what size wire I need to tap with since it's before the ocpd.
Also it looks like a whole panel surge protector will be required too. I'm mainly looking at the things that might catch me off guard and just want to make sure I get it done right. So what am I missing if anything?
Thanks
