Wrenches The new solark 15 has a 200 amp rated contactor this is so if you want to have whole home pass through you can but if you only have an inverter then use that as your starting point and if the genny is contributing then add that is, you do not need 2/0 for a single 15 k off grid but you may

I think the idea here is that 690.9 allows the inverter output conductors to be sized based on the maximum ampacity and an OCPD is actually not required is the conductor ampacity is sufficient. So in an off-grid scenario, the wires could be as small as #4. In a grid interconnected situation where t
