I have 3 dwelling on 6 acres - 200A service entry split into 50A knife switches then to 3 separate sub-panels at each unit. Old 50A fuses never fail. Can I hook this up for grid interactive solar.

How far from the service point to the dwellings?
Will the grid interactive solar be installed at the service point?

Yes, the challenge will be finding a solution that minimizes the amount and size of wire needed. Copper is expensive and larger sizes correlate to longer distances to avoid voltage loss over distances. Sometimes Aluminum wire can save money.
