I am planning to have a local company install solar on part of my roof. I am planning on getting the solark 15k, so that I can add more panels via DC inputs myself later. They will pull permits and install the first 12kwatt roof panels.
One question I have is whether I can back feed into a pool subpanel? This is the subpanel. It is fed by a 100amp breaker at my house. I assume because of the 20% rule, I could add a 20amp breaker to feed this subpanel. I am waiting until net metering takes place, but the question I have is how to create a disconnect. If the grid power goes out, how do I prevent the solar power from back feeding down the line?
I was planning to add six panels on a mobile wheeled ground mount near the pool that would be rolled out of the way when the pool is in use. I would plan to do add a small portable mppt and 2000 watt inverter to the pool pump area and then send ac into the subpanel?
Is this completely wrong and unsafe?
