What a game changer. I'm going to Mexico for my next project;
I'll actually enjoy even more being the sole AHJ on the project.

Readily accessible is now defined in the 2014 NEC. Installing
OCPD’s underneath a module is a major faux paux, and I can’t
imagine any AHJ thinking otherwise. Having to remove a module in
order to reset a breaker, what a drag.<br>

If that is the interpretation,<br>
I don't see how the breakers are "readily accessible" in
a SolaDeck<br>
mounted anywhere, regardless of whether it is under a
module. It<br>
requires removal of four screws (using a tool) to access
the breakers<br>
inside the enclosure. It's all up to the AHJ. It has not
been an issue<br>
locally here. I can see how other jurisdictions may not<br>
concur.<br>
