Chris:
Thank you for the reply. I think you misunderstand me. We always use the GSLC cabinets. I just don’t like the design concept that clutters the cabinet with AC and DC breakers that are difficult to access and block other components. See photo below of a prewired GSLC Cabinet we were asked to work in. Not a good scenario. We have created an installation standard using the GSLC that minimizes the problems inherent with the design. We run all AC leads to adjacent load centers and we try to minimize the DC breakers in the cabinet. It is our goal to completely eliminate all breakers from the removable dead-front. I think it is pretty self-explanatory why one would not prefer to make connections in a hard to reach location. Our goal is to constantly improve our installation procedures to create better, safer and more efficient installations. Also, I don’t need someone to instruct me on how to make a “finished” looking install. If you are familiar with my work you know it is as clean as it gets. Review my web site. Below is but one example of one of our installs. And lastly, “suck it up” is not a very complimentary phrase. Please, let’s keep it professional. Sincerely, William Miller Figure 1 Factory wired GSLC Figure 2 Miller Solar installed GSLC..

I need to accept the outputs from 3 remote PV Combiners, send those outputs through GFP circuit breakers, into charge controllers, back thorough breaker, into a bus bar, through a main breaker and onto a large battery bank. I am using 2 Outback Radian inverters, but I refuse to install DC breakers on their dead-front because wiring to studs facing away from the front is an inferior design. Furthermore, I see no need to run PV circuits through the GSLC cabinets. I looked at the Midnite MNDC15 but again, these use panel mounted breakers with studs on the back. Anyone know of a more thoughtfully designed PV recombiner?
