I've been spending some time on the Mike Holt's forum and reading some of the code. ?
Mike Holt's forum is really good but I have been avoiding reading electric code my whole life.
Anyway, from what I gather so far, another PV disconnect isn't necessary in my case. There is a rule about having a disconnect if the DC enters the building more than 5 feet. But I think RSD or the PV disconnect on Solark will fill that requirement.
Another subject that came up is about having switches that other people could operate. Like if you turn off a switch somewhere but someone else comes along and turns it on without you knowing. I didn't see any mention of "Lock out tag out" but there is talk about having the disconnect near the inverter.
I am not done with this subject. Here's another possibility that I came across- https://www.factorymation.com/SI16-DBL-8
RSD is probably the safest. But there is some chance of malfunction.
