Sol-ark 15k a/c output circuit breaker and wire gauge

[Scott Off Grid]

I have a Sol-ark 15k inverter and I am off grid, no grid connection. I have a 200A 40 space load center with lugs, no breaker. What size breaker do I need to use in the load center to connect the inverter? And what size wire gauge do I need to use between the inverter and the load center for the AC output?

Off grid, Max output is 60 amps. I believe 4 awg is good to 70 amps.

If the max out put from the inverter is 60 amps, would I need an 80 amp circuit breaker, for that 80% rule?

Revision, 62.5 continous amps. 125% of that is 78 amps. 4 awg copper wire is good for 55 amps at 60c, and 85 amps at 75c. 80 amp breaker to pass 62.5 continous. 3 awg for the few feet would give some more margin.

thank you, that's where my figures were at also. Just wanted some verification.
