Aloha All, My engineer is pushing back on our design, which calls for a battery and load center to be installed within 6ft of the water pump and filter, the inverter is 7ft away. He is citing NEC 2020 210.8 and the need for GFCI protection.
Now besides the practical reason for not doing this, I can not find a code reference preventing our proposed location for the battery and load center. This is for an off-grid new construction home with the PV equipment in the garage, using a Sol-Ark 15k and Discover Rack Mount batteries. Any input?
