[RE-wrenches] Supply side denial

[drake.chamberlin at redwoodalliance.org]

AEP Won't let us do a line side tap. We can tap into the line side and
install another service as permitted by the Rule of Six. I have used the
Eaton, 4 space breaker box with 2 spaces for the service disconnect and
2 for the PV connection. 

Supposedly you can use a main breaker retainer, according to Eaton tech
support, However, the box doesn't have holes for the screws, but you can
drill a hole in the box and get one screw in. It seems to hold the
breaker firmly.Some inspectors could have an issue with that. 

Other manufacturers may have better solutions.
