Hi,
I have a situation where there is an old meter main combo panel. From the meter it feeds 2 100 amp breakers and there is no more room to add any breakers. I was wondering if it is okay to tap onto the load side conductors of one of the 100 amp feeder breakers according to 705.12? I would then go to a fused disconnect for the PV. The fused disconnect will be rated for 30 amps. I think I would still need to use #3 wire from the tap to the fused disconnect, is that correct?
Thanks for your help
