Hi Dana,
"Sounds like" you have a lower-bus rated at 100A being fed by a 60A
breaker... Yes?
If so, technically speaking but not necessarily the right thing to do, you
have a SWEET SETUP! In 690.64 terms, you are legally allowed 120A to feed
that bus. Which converts to a maximum 60A PV intercon
compliant in theory. The 60A is the main for the purposes of your

You still have to make a determination of suitability with regard to

Lee,
They are good to go @600V. Depending on vintage, they may be configurable
for 6 or 12 Volt in the J-box. You might want to consider going the 6V route
and only using 1 string. This would serve to keep your string voltage "up"
if you lose a module or two down the road. Either way, as mentione
n the load jaws. You will
need to get them to buy off on it, but most utilities will accept it, though
they may want to put a lock on it. The trick is getting your neutral
conductor routed through it.
It's a place to start...
