<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>There's probably an obvious answer but please help
me think this through. Here's the situation--comes up all the time: The PV array
and grid-tied inverter will be located on a detached building (garage or pole
barn, etc.). The existing power to the building is a 240V 60A
subpanel connected to the main panelboard at the house or main
building via buried cable. If we obey buss bar loading and wire sizing, etc, is
there any reason why we can't or shouldn't install the small grid tied PV system
and tie it into the garage subpanel instead of trenching new lines
back to the house and hit the main panel there? One hitch I see is
that if we want a PV system AC disconnect near the main meter,
the whole garage would end up on that. Have I overlooked an NEC
or inverter requirement?</FONT></DIV>
