<br>
Yes that's pretty much it. Stand-Alone Meter Socket to J-Box with
Splice Tap to Solar Disco and Main Breaker Panel. Max backfeed 200 Amps
(160 Amps rated solar inverters) for single phase.<br>
<br>
You'll need to meet the Short Circuit Current Rating (SCCR) for all
equipment and the IC (Interrupting rating) for all overcurrent
protection that is required by the particular transformer - service
entrance circuit. 22kAIC minimum is usually what is needed to meet a
200 Amp service supply side connection.<br>
</span><br>
<span><span>If you have a residential account with PG&E then
Greenbook section 6 is the equipment you need to meet.<br>
If you have a commercial account with PG&E then Greenbook section 7.<br>
<br>
</span>I just proposed to PG&E to use a Eaton (Cooper) B-Line CIR
124TB as you'll need test bypass blocks as per the Greenbook for
commercial.<br>
<br>
I plan to follow Bill Hennesey's advice and use Ilsco Splice Taps for
the "T" - I plan on using a steel J-box as I'm outdoor in the sun.<br>
<br>
Then I feed to an Eaton 200 Amp Heavy Duty Safety Switch for the solar
with a combined fuse/switch AIC of 200kA<br>
<br>
Then I feed also to a Main Panel with a breaker/panel rated to 22 AIK -
some homeline panels meet this criteria and many standard main breaker
Square D and Siemens panels can be found for this.<br>
<br>
That's it from my end - just submitted this to PG&E this morning and
will drop by and check with my AJH this week to make sure it all works
for everyone.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
<br>

I just sent my PG&E proposal<br>

ruminating on Jeff's inquiry about various ways to do a supply
side connection, I came up with the attached drawing. Verbal
descriptions are harder for me to wrap my head around. This is in
PG&E
territory, its 3 phase and I too am trying to avoid the extra cost of
higher Amp panels. Please pick it apart.
