Rich: Here is the first consideration you might want to make: You state a value of 100 Amps for this system, which I assume is the maximum AC output at 240 VAC (25 Amps) times four inverters. The value of 25 amps per inverter is irrelevant to your design, however. You must take the 25 amps

Friends: I have heard, but I have not researched myself, a provision in the code where one could dedicate a panel to be an "AC combiner" to collect the outputs of multiple inverters. You would not install any branch circuit breakers and thereby eliminate the need to comply with the 120% rule.

Jay: Thanks for citing this section. I reviewed it just now (2008 version) and I noticed that it says, "capable of supplying multiple branch circuits," not "actually supplying branch circuits." Any energized breaker panel is capable of supplying branch circuits. Only if you size the pan
