Hi: Back in the day when I was giving the Xantrex training for the GT, I was informed by our regulatory folks that we will base the 36" height on an interpretation of the electrical code whereby the switch is considered to be the same as any other electrical wall switch or outdoor receptacle.

I'd still plan for it to be high enough to avoid any basement flooding and to remain easy to access. May be worth discussing with SMA ahead of time in case the AHJ complains about it during the field inspection. Dave On 2015/5/13 15:47, AE Solar wrote: Great thanks. SMA says 36" to the bottom of the disco so will go with that.

However, many inverter manufacturers specify a minimum height. You’ll need refer to the manual for that.

I'm trying to find a code reference that says how far off the ground the DC/AC disco on the inverter needs to be but am not finding one. Could be that they are in the 3' range. Not ideal but might be our best option. Anyone know where I could look up compliance?
