Kirk:

We purchase only the empty GSLC cabinets. They do include the breaker
brackets and bus bars. I have received the cabinets missing hardware so
check the inventory beforehand.

Here are a few hints you probably already know:

The shunts are the shoddiest construction and it is very easy to break the
plastic base. Torque the upper shunt bolt after all other bus hardware is
torqued.

I recommend using two 175A breakers. For some troubleshooting procedures it
is necessary to isolate the two power modules.

An empty GSLC cabinet makes an acceptable PV recombiner. We cut off the
bottom dead front tab and substitute a hinge. We wire the breakers with the
dead font tilted out flat and all leads hinging at the bottom.

We never install any AC breakers in the GSLC cabinets. The back-wiring is
just too awkward. Instead  we use outboard breaker panels or panel
boards—one for Gen Fed and one for Inverter Fed.

For bypassing we fabricate custom slide plates bolted to the dead-front to
interlock output breakers. It’s not listed but with good craftsmanship it
looks official.

Here are a few photos:

I hope the above info is helpful.
