Good morning.
I’m wiring up my “solar shed”. Creating a sub-panel for critical loads.
Sub panel is 40’ away from main.
2x 1.5” pvc conduit under ground to shed in garage.
Mains for 80 amp breaker to inverter in one and spliced leads for circuits in the other.
12awg stranded thnn for spliced leads
3awg for 80amp breaker
Remove neutral from bond at mains and hot from breaker, splice and run to sub panel.
What about the ground? Leave attached/grounded at the main?
Also, plan to use a gutter in shed to go between sub, disconnects, battery and inverter.
Ok to run 80amp feed wires in the gutter with the spliced leads from main to sub panel, or everything else for that matter?
Thank you.
