Hi Wrenches,



We have a 125 A meter/main combo with space for up to 6 breakers (or three
two-pole breakers). Here is a Google photos link:

The configuration is such that the busing is unprotected and connected
directly to the utility feeds through the meter bus. I want to install into
a subpanel fed by the 100 A breaker to the right. Does anyone see a reason
why I can’t install up to 100 A of solar? What if we tied the solar where
the 50A two pole breaker currently is? Lastly, does any code savvy
individual know what limits, if any, there are to the sizing of main
breakers in this panel?



Cheers,



August
