Setting aside code issues for a moment, I wouldn't hesitate to put an OCPD
under a module if strategically located such that only one module needs to
be removed and there is adequate working space (i.e. the last module in a
row). How often are OCPD service issues encountered, especially AC
You call it a solar panel, I call it a glass j-box cover plate.

Readily accessible is now defined in the 2014 NEC. Installing OCPD’s underneath
a module is a major faux paux, and I can’t imagine any AHJ thinking otherwise.
Having to remove a module in order to reset a breaker, what a drag.

What a game changer. I'm going to Mexico for my next project; I'll
actually enjoy even more being the sole AHJ on the project.

Is this off grid? The Intimidator is not a high cycle life battery.
I've had trouble finding exact ratings, but its probably in the 250 to
300 cycles at 80% DOD. I'd expect 3 years max in an off grid
application. Also the Intimidators I've seen are actually AGM, not
Gel, but I

Yes, this is an off-grid applications. I think you are right, the battery
guy sold him what he had. Pretty pricey battery lesson twice!

Just let him know what to expect, and he will respect that latter when
it turns out to be true.
Does he need sealed batteries? I'd start talking up an industrial grade
battery for latter. After all this, he'll be ready for a battery that's
going to stay put for awhile.

I like the Morningstar line. Depending on how small
you need, they have some nice sealed units up to 20 amps
and have LVD versions of those. Some wrenches have had mixed
results with them but I've been fortunate
and spec these all the time.

August,
I have had good luck with the Morningstar Suresine 300W inverter at an
installation in Haiti. I hope that saying this does not jinx the
installation.
I used the BZ 500 MPPT charge controller from BZ Products and 450
watts of modules to light up a small school.

Hi August,
For small systems such as you are planning here we have had great luck
with the Morningstar MPPT controller, Suresine inverter and Morningstar
control module. We build them into a little powerpanel on a backing
board and take them out to the job pre-wired. We have five or six of

I'm proposing a ground mounted PV installation that will have the usual
exposed DC conductors and so need to be secured into a raceway of some sort.
