Just use a 30a breaker.
40a is recommended to cover pass through loads and AC charging.

Copper price is fluctuating terribly right now.
A breakers job is to protect the wire.
There's no requirement for enough power ahead of it.

Yes, that's allowed.I need more space for grounds, is it code to install a ground bus on the surface (not in a box)? I am trying to install some surge protectors and the bus in my box is full

Either is fine.Awesome, can I use a regular box mount style or does it need standoffs?
I have the growatt 3000 48p model and when I remove the bonding screw it does nothing to the GN bond. Maybe I got a defective unit but just something to watch out for. Have you confirmed that removing the screw removes the ground neutral bond?I have two growatt 3000tl lvelm-es inverters ran in split phase, both internal N-G bond screws have been removed, I did the bonding in the panel. When both inverters have AC input to use the inverters as battery chargers I get 2.3 amps on the ground at the box, if i take the bonding screw out of the box I get an open ground on my tester. With the N-G bond taken out of the box amd I supply AC in power I then show a N-G which I would guess is because my main house panel is now supplying the ground reference and the growatt is passing it through the inverters. When I have zero wires connected to the growatts I show no N-G bond but when I connect all of the wires, cables etc. I get a N-G bond on the AC in and AC out even when I am not supplying AC power to the AC in. I have tried running them Separate through the panel as single phase and I get zero amps on the ground but as soon as I supply AC in I again show 2.5 amps on the ground, if I only supply AC to one of the inverters I show zero amps on the ground (guessing two inverters on separate phases are supplying a ground to each inverter which os causing the ground to carry current)
I really hope my rambling makes sense, typing as I remember things, any help would be great since signature solar seems to not habe any idea what's going on.

YupThere are multiple screws, are you sure you removed the correct one?
Yup
Thats the one I removed.
