Bill, typically inverters have a max OCPD that can be installed on
their output, and these sizes are generally not large enough to
accommodate two same-model inverters. And manuals often note that
you need to have a dedicated OCPD anyway. At least if I were ever to
double-up two inverters on a single breaker, I'd want to make sure I
had clearance from the manufacturer to do so. Or... just buy the $75
box to combine the two.<br>

<div> ...its the little things. Recently someone here
brought up the issue of combining AC outputs prior
to backfeeding the "solar" CB in the mains panel. In the past
I've run AC outs from inverters into a small AC dist
panel, backfeeding CBs and then ran my combined AC out from a
larger CB or the busses themselves to the backfed CB in the
mains panel. Is this overkill?</div>

<div> It does seem as though, at least for just 2
inverters, this could be done with just split bolts in a gutter
or dedicated J-box....or a power distribution block?? Or...??
(no wire nuts, thank you) Your ideas appreciated.</div>
