A friend of mine owns a hostle/hotel near Yosemite National Park, which happens to get a good deal of sun year round, blazing in the summer. Anyway he was thinking of adding solar, as a way of adding electrical capacity for an expansion he thinking of doing. Haven't told him yet that it's not a way of adding 'real' capacity in service size, but on the flip side is (in his situation) a good bill reducer power consumtion. Either selling power back, or having the maint. nightmare of dealing with lots of batteries for storing for use.
Anyway, I don't do solar... But from what I understand, it would all have to go back to the main for disconnect. (Think this is a POCO thing, PG&E to be correct.) Problem is that the main/metering is in the middle of a fairly sizable campus of buildings. Do they all have to go back there? Or could it be done at the panels at each building, with an inverter at each?
Anyone familiar with type of thing? Thanks in advance.
