3.8% is too much - most power co.'s want no less than 2.5% ... #1 cu would do it tho using the quick rule of one size up per 100 ft.

This is the way. could always add poles as needed, or go underground and add a pull-station or two (1 every hundred ft.)

ya dont. the inverter ties into the line-side (ie - grid connected), it is protected by a fusible disconnect. it is the same on many commercial set-ups.

oh yeah, the inverters control power-flow so yeah no ats nor shunt-trips needed. more simple and less costly ...

If single meter base - 'combiner panel' houses the separate service feeders, then into meter base. if i read correctly, sounds to me like the desired inverter / gen. set-up is for the calculated service size tied at the point of entry (meter base (multi-base)). Shunt-trip protecting the...

i like the SunnyBoy line of products

please ignore my replies - everybody already answered your Q's ... guess i should read the whole thread before replying next time lol. Lotta Good Knowledge here! - Take Care Y'all !

quite actually, if it is more of a separate building issue than the size of the panel - if it is a seperate bldng. then it should have a local "disconnect", which could just be another 2p/30A breaker in the panel (backfed), which technically should be held down w/ a screw-kit, but in some...

and proper way to handle this

Also, consider a double-meter base so that they can be billed separately if ya want, and also better for tracking power usage sans an amp-clamp / digital reader set-up

they may even have all that in their "green book" like say PG&E does in CA ... And yeah, get a site walk-thru w/ one of their engineer reps like another suggested ... after all, it is their job and also they appreciate the thoughtful pre-planning
