Wall Switch Location ideas?

[MJRobinson]

I have a 100A fused switch the utility company wants me to add for solar. The feeder is circled in yellow in attached photo. The client is picky and I thought I would ask for suggestions for routing?

It's 1/0 Wire.

Thanks

Get the wires pulled back, and insert a weather-tight J-box there.

Intercept the one you have circled, possibly the one next to it if you need the room. Land them in a 8x8x6. Come out the side of the box with your conduit landed on double deep strut. If there's room, kick 90 up just to the left of the irrigation timer and go into the bottom of your disconnect. If the homeowner is picky paint the conduit, the prior work there isn't exactly a masterpiece.

Punch a 1- 1/4inch hole between the two 3/4 inch nipples that are entering the cabinet from the bottom.

Go all the way to the bottom--dig a shallow trench and come up to the side of the timer. You will need two 90s for this. This way you would not be crossing those existing conduits.

Mount the 100A disconnect right above the irrigation timer.

To appease the picky client--frame the fused disconnect with a picture frame that was yanked out of a Mona Lisa portrait copy.

Just kidding. . .disregard the picture frame bit and do the first three paragraphs.

You have no choice but to go left young man, gas meter on right would prohibit anything there and what is there may already be in violation in relation to the gas meter, can't truly tell the distances. And I believe the dedicated space requirement would become in play. Here the 2 POCO I deal with that provide gas service both state no electrical within 3 ft of gas meter. @myspark suggestion makes sense and most likely make the cleanest looking.

What's the client picky about? The current setup already looks atrocious.

That is what I was going to mention, there isn't much you can do to this to make it look worse than it already does.

Thanks, I am concerned about digging there, are there rules regarding crossing the other conduit with deep strut,as ppsh says above?
