Re: [RE-wrenches] 200 Amp Main Equip for 60A Solar

[Jeff Wongstrom]

Jeff. Although not marketed for PV, the Eaton Cutler Hammer Ranch Panel CMBER88B200BTS has a 270 amp rating and comes with a 200 amp main breaker with space for a 70 amp secondary main breaker space(a tap between the meter and the main breaker) as well as pass through lugs and 8 more breaker spaces.  The local Platt stocks them at less than $300.  We have used them for several service upgrades and love them.

The $1100 (list) Schneider RC2M200S lets you do a 200A main and a 50A PV breaker (interconnecting on line side of the 200A), which may be close enough for you depending on your system details (10kWac @ 240V -> >52.1A breaker).

Or does anyone know the right equip to get to ensure we can install 2 dual lug taps on both single lugs? (a meter base with enough room for the T lugs?) Or better yet any integrated 200 Amp Service / Meter equipment that has an accessible spot to tap 60 Amps for a Disconnect on the meter side of the Main? I have 2 SB 2500Us existing and want to add a single SB 5000TLUS - I show rated output to be 46 Amps total and hence a 60 Amp needed. Advice my esteemed colleagues?
