We've been contracted to add on to an existing PV system in a residence. The existing system has a 30A 2P Breaker on a 200A rated panel with a 200A main breaker. The new system would require a 15A breaker, which would exceed the limit in NEC 690.64(B)(2).
The existing system has a fusible AC disconnect mounted next to the meter. This was originally intended as the utility external disconnect. The utility no longer requires a disconnect, but if we do a supply side connection, we would need a fusible AC disconnect anyway for the new system. I would collocate the new disconnect with the old. Does anyone see any problem with doing a supply size connection for the new system? Any labeling snags that I might need to consider? Jason Szumlanski Fafco Solar
