    Split Bus Panelboard for a hybrid inverter with NEC compliance?

    Looks like SQD advertises the same thing, but the 1ph vs 3ph is probably a problem with the NEC. I'd like to find a code-compliant way to do this.

    Split Bus Panelboard for a hybrid inverter with NEC compliance?

    AFAIK, this is really the only interlock available that would make sense as most of the others appear to be design to be mounted directly under the main: This meets NEC 408.36 Overcurrent Protection (D) Back-Fed Devices. Plug-in circuit breakers that are backfed must be secured in place by a...

    Split Bus Panelboard for a hybrid inverter with NEC compliance?

    I've looked at my QO panel and it looks like 2 min with a grinding wheel can make it split bus, just need to remove the plastic, cut, then reassemble.

    Split Bus Panelboard for a hybrid inverter with NEC compliance?

    Split Bus Panelboard for a hybrid inverter with NEC compliance?

    I'm curious if anyone has used a split bus panel and had it pass inspection. The interwebs points to 408.36 of the NEC but I don't see any issues with this setup so long as the backfed breaker has an additional fastener per (D) and confirmed by the manufacturer. This configuration would give...

    Aptos Solar - Has anyone got in touch with them?

    I reached out to them and asked them for some clarifying questions on their warranty. That was about 7 weeks ago in mid-July. I followed up after a week but that didn't help. Is this normal for them? Or is my email to their listed contact info on their website not accurate...

    Two separate systems PV cables in one conduit?

    I've got a townhouse with two units on two different floors. They have their own individual utility meter and individual electrical systems. Since they share one roof, I'd like to understand if I can combine the DC PV cables from each system from the roof down to the ground where the inverters...
