P.S.<br><br>
In many cases it would be necessary to use a fused AC disconnect to stay
within the inverter manufacturer's specifications. <br><br>

In all cases, the point of connection to a utility system must be at a
dedicated breaker. If there were multiple string inverters that
would connect to one breaker, why not just use a junction box, instead of
a combiner panel? You could put in an AC disconnect for each
inverter, if it didn't come with one. <br><br>
The wiring would need to be sized for the combined output of the multiple
inverters, which in many cases wouldn't be an issue.<br><br>
