August: Our AHJs are correctly treating the top or bottom most breaker positions as "the opposite end."
As you examine the problem you realize the only scenario in which currents add is if load breakers are NOT between the main and PV feeders. Locating PV feeders at either end of the bus accomplishes the goal of preventing additive currents. If it would help I could find a submittal check list on jurisdiction letter-head stipulating this allowance.
