Hi all.
I'm planning an interactive solar/battery installation, and I plan to have a large permanent solar array and a smaller portable one with its own MPPT and battery that I'd like to connect to the house battery while I'm not using it elsewhere. I'm reading through the NEC, and I'm not seeing any language specifically for portable solar arrays. Here's a diagram of what I have in mind:
The portable system would be in a camping trailer which I think counts as an RV according to the NEC. For now I'm thinking of it as an Article 690 thing. But any insights would be appreciated. I've been reading the NEC 2020 code, but Washington is going to adopt the 2023 cycle in a couple months. I haven't got hold of their amended version yet. This book is not an easy read, LOL.
