Hi All, I think I know the answer to this, but wasn't 100% sure: I have a potential client who had roof mounted grid-tied panels (Sun Power 205s, and Sun Power Inverter) and a Sunny Island for backup (batteries are currently flat, so don't know if either they are recoverable or if the SI is working).
Before the current owner moved in a few months ago, the panels and racking were removed (maybe a year ago), seemingly for a reroofing. No pictures appear to exist of how or where they were mounted and I believe the racking has disappeared (I have not been to this location, just have info from the current owner and a report commissioned by the owner from a somewhat knowledgeable energy consultant). The owner wants the panels remounted and the SI restored to operation. My question is can I reuse the existing equipment (no RSD) as this appears to be a maintenance procedure, or do I need to bring the system up to current code? No permits will need to be pulled and there are essentially nor AHJs involved (this is a rural site), so any adherence to code would be for covering my a-- and making sure things were safe. So can I, by code, remount this system (with new racking) somewhere on the same roof, without changing out the inverter? I realize this might have a variable answer, but looking for the basic.
