I have no experience with the Hawaii connection, but another choice for a
tap connector is the Ilso GTA type with cover. You don't have to cut the
tapped line and don't rely on piercing it.

Type 1: You’ll be limited to 100A solar because the Utility conductors
you’re attaching to are 100A. The Utility tap needs to immediately go to a
fused disconnect switch, generally within 6ft (sometimes 10ft) and within
line of sight of the meter. Fuses need AIC rating equivalent to that of

Does the utility allow line side tie in and then you should not need to be
concerned about the 100 amp main as long as you have the wire size correct.
Many utilities are not allowing line side tap however.

I need clarification; however, here is my interpretation for you.
The utility feeds the meter and then the 100A breaker.
Then you want this 100A breaker to feed the 220A bus panel.
This 220A panel then supplies through a 100A breaker the house load.
The solar also feeds the 220A panel. If the sola
Correct & The 225 amp bus bar gives us the busbar ampacity to accept
the 120 amp back feed (includes the 25% factor)
22800w /240v = 95 amp

The Feeder Tap is our preferred method when available. However, I think you
will find engineers who disagree that the tap can occur anywhere along the
feeder. In my experience, PEs want to see that tap done with the downstream
OCPD close to the tap. We would normally tap immediately before the
