Solarific. My First Inspection

[rbaake]

Todays electrical system. All comments welcome.

Perfectly normal from the meter to the main. How is the Sub feeding two inverters? Looking forward to 24 CE's on solar power that the State of NJ will accept.

The sub panel isn't feeding the inverters, they're feeding it.

What Jim said. What is not clear is the disconnect below the meter is labeled 'Solar AC Disconnect'. I don't see another disconnect for the line power.

Is there another meter with a disconnect outside? That would explain the main panel with line coming into it thru the wall.

I imagine the little cylinders below the panels are surge protectors?

Surge protectors is my guess too.

Isn't that a main disconnect at the top of the main panel?

I see the two taps on the utility feed at the left of the panel enclosure. I guess this is the solar feed tapping in.

I assume there is also a meter on the exterior of the house for the utility service. The one in the picture only measures the amount of energy generated by the solar panels. Is this correct?
