Yeah. If I could talk him into a better pump (it's the money!) the whole issue

Hi Dana,
"Sounds like" you have a lower-bus rated at 100A being fed by a 60A
breaker... Yes?
If so, technically speaking but not necessarily the right thing to do, you
have a SWEET SETUP! In 690.64 terms, you are legally allowed 120A to feed
that bus. Which converts to a maximum 60A PV intercon
compliant in theory. The 60A is the main for the purposes of your

section has an amperage rating or not is moot.
You still have to make a determination of suitability with regard to
