Question for Les and Marv:
Where are the disconnects and inverter located in your system?
Some counties down here require that the disconnect be situated in the main feed between the meter and the house and be no more than 6 feet from the meter.
Fortunately my county allows the disconnect to be at the panels, wherever they are. That was part of the confusion when the installers showed up with a trencher and wanted to start mounting the disconnect on our house next to the meter. I had gone over the plans with the engineer and we agreed to put the disconnect on the barn - no digging and no tearing up our landscaping.
Looking back (it's been almost a year since we started planning this) the location of the disconnect is one reason we don't have batteries. If we had batteries running the house when the grid went down we would HAVE to have the automatic disconnect at the meter - and we don't want it there.
