Thank you for the replies. Looks like Napa is not a city that does the SolarApp+. Yes, Electrical contractor C-10 and B General. Yep, I just want battery power for the night running Air Conditioning (I will add batteries in future when batteries become better and cheaper) I might be...

Is the 'safety-switch' like a disconnect? To and from what? Okay. I'd want a bit more of a cushion too. So your math is : 15kw/240 = 62.5 amps --> 80amp breaker: 80x1.2 = 96 amps busbar rating (or greater)? So mine would be at 13.4Kw/240 = 55.83 amps --> 60 amp breaker: 60x1.2 = 72 amp...

Very cool. This helps a lot. Thank you. So it's 120% of the bus rating, minus your main breaker. So a 13.44Kv system = 56 amps at 240v. I would just need to have (busbar-rating) - (main breaker) > 56 amps. Am I understanding it correctly now? Based on that, I likely wouldn't need to...

Hi, I'm located in California (north Bay Area/Napa) PG&E and looking into solar. I'm a licensed electrician (not active) and thinking about re-activating my license to do my own house. I never did solar, or residential (minus a few houses for friends) electrical. I'm likely to use a design...

Jeeze, it seems the more I learn about additional components/design option the more confusing it is to make/build the ideal system. If I’m correct, the solark hybrid has the inverter/controller for power and batteries and standby generator all packaged in one unit. I’d assume without...

Over paneling, was my thought just based on the panel prices and my cranky knees and back just wants to do it once. Yes, I was shocked at the hardware/rack/mounting cost. Are panels all mounted the same way, i.e. would any racking work or is it not worth buying rack/mounts separately. I have...

Thank you Kuma, re: the list and the advice. I wasn't aware of that. I'll get it through the AHJ before I spend any on equipment.
