This spring we'll begin the first steps of setting up our PV system.
Move the meter from the house to the yard, removing overhead lines and very old drop. Bury from the new meter location to a newly build garage. Put in a new 200A main breaker panel in the garage and treat the house as a subpanel (change in grounding).
Slightly longer term is installing an array either on the roof or co-located 2-axis tracker (still considering the snow).
In the meantime, before the Radian inverter &/or micro-inverters are setup, I'm pondering how to have all this electrical equipment installed properly and easily prepared for adding the PV steps, and integrate my current 7kw backup generator (which currently is not tied into my panel as I've avoided purchasing that hardware knowing that this was coming)
In addition to necessary load panels, if I installed
OUTBACK POWER PREWIRED GSLC 175A DISCONNECTS, AC COUPLED, 120/240VAC
before installing the Mate & Radian, can this GSLC tied together the hardware I do have so that I can have power in the house during this transition time?
That is, will the GSLC 'work' before the Radian is attached to it?
