Hi, hope you don't mind the newbie question. I am trying to setup the AC portion of my solar All-in-One. I did some search on setup of AC breaker box for use with solar, in particular, an All-in-One like the MPP Solar. It seems to me, at this point, most people connect the AC Output of the All-in-One solar charger/inverter to a Sub Panel or, even, a Main Panel converted to a Sub Panel. Is this the correct understanding that most people use a Sub Panel?
If an AC Output is connected to a Sub Panel, the charger/inverter AC wire is connected to an AC Circuit breaker and done through **back feeding** and the main lug is not used. No grounding rod.
However, if an AC Output is connected to a Main Panel instead, the connection is to the Main Circuit Breaker and both Netural and Ground busbars are bonded and grounded to a grounding rod. Is this correct? Did I missed something here? It seems like either a Main Panel box and Sub Panel can be used. Correct? Thank you.
I am referring to the AC breaker box in which the AC Output from the All-in-One is connected to; and this breaker box then connect to the wall outlet. Thanks.
