<font face="Verdana">One key requirement for the installation of
grid-tied PV is that it be connected to a dedicated circuit. This is
mandatory to prevent circuit conductor overloading under certain fault
conditions. A DIYer may be inclined to connect his PV into an existing
circuit. We even get inquiries about putting a plug on the end of the
PV branch and plugging it into an existing 240vac outlet. <br>
<br>
Very scary.<br>
<br>
You guys should be the ones installing these systems. 99% of the
DIYers are just a disaster waiting to happen.<br>

<div style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Since
the new micro-inverters can be easily wired into the nearest 240 VAC
circuit, odds are this will be the new do-it-yourself project for
homeowners. However, odds also favor new round of outlaw solar systems
that are not inspected, do not have properly sized wires and breakers,
and do not have exterior utility dis-connects (although many states are
no longer enforcing this requirement).<br>
<br>
So, it appears to me all the codes still apply regardless of where the
inverter or inverters are located, so are any of you seeing an increase
of these micro inverter systems installed by the homeowner?<br>
