Question on circuit breakers used for isolation (vs. protection) on solar input wires:
On the one hand, I see a *lot* of builds with those single-pole, push button circuit breakers like this used for isolating the PV input from the panels.
On the other hand, I've seen other places that recommend a dual-pole circuit breaker, citing an NEC requirement to "simultaneously disconnect the PV system conductors that are not solidly grounded from all conductors of other wiring systems."
Given that RV's sometimes seem to fall between the cracks of the NEC proper... any words of wisdom on this?
