    True, but, the intent of the Code is not to always allow the
    interconnection of the maximum amount of PV power possible, so long
    as an over-current event cannot occur.<br>
    <br>
    Here we see Code that prevents over-current events in all cases. I
    guess you could say that that is it's intent.<br>
    <br>
    Sadly, the case you show would not be one of those allowed.<br>
    <br>
    Happily, many that would not have been allowed in the past are now
    allowed.<br>
    <br>
    This is called progress.<br>
