Ground mount grid tie system design questions.
Panel string (310w. X 11) will max out at approx 525v DC and approx 13 amps. Big box store THHN 14ga. wire rated at 600v. per string would be adequate if I did my numbers right.
Tentative design is 4 strings DC fed approx 90' conduit to inverters located inside close by load center. wire will be noticably cheaper with this approach than locating inverters at the panels and running AC to house. I also like locating the expensive inverters inside.
Inverters have both DC and AC disconnects. Should I expect utility to require additional DC disconnects where DC wiring enters the structure?
looking for feedback on this approach.
