Jay, the original issue wasn't about the breakers being on the side;
it was about putting a battery cabinet underneath the disconnect
enclosure. If the cabinet sticks out too far, it violates working
clearance in the code.

Hi Allan,
that said it is a ETL listed device no?
And in regards to Xantrex, the old DC disconnect had breakers
on the side as well as the conduit box for the SW, again UL or
ETL listed.
Can you elaborate?

Ray,
I don't think Robin has posted anything, it just came in a
conversation we had. As I understand it, service equipment
must have nothing interfering with designated working
clearance, within a few inches of depth allowed. With
Outback, Magnum, and Xanschneider the breakers are on the
front surface and are within the allowable depth.
Midnite/Magnum and Midnite/Outback places them back toward
the back wall with the inverter on the hinged cover; thus
the battery enclosure technically sticks out too far. The
XW Midnite panel doesn't have this issue, as it's a
different layout. If necessary, one solution would be to
mount the E-Panel several inches out from the wall
surface.
