Good Morning Wrenches, I'm wondering if anyone has an advice on preferred methods and component/panel recommendations for paralleling multiple inverters. The proposed system will utilize 4 SMA6000 inverters (100 amps) and will be a ground mounted system with inverters located outdoors in the cold frigid temperatures of Vermont in a farmer's field so the panel where we complete the parallel connections needs to be outdoor rated (although it will be sheltered from the worst of the elements). It will be a standalone system with a dedicated utility power drop/meter for the system. My understanding of using a load center in this applications is that the 120% rule will apply as it does in a typical installation per NEC690.64(B)(2)with the bus amp rating for the load center based upon the inverter feed side as well as the over current device on the utility side.
Any input regarding preferred panels and configuration is appreciated. Thanks Rich
