[quote=Jacarandoso]Waiting Hawk, Good for you for getting ready to go for it.
It sounds like at least some of your plan would be well outside of the National Electrical Code? The A/B situation using connection boxes the attic is probably a no go.Each branch circuit box is allowed only one power source.
What kind of inverter were you planning on using? Where are you going to tie it in? Sounds like you would be having it in your shed and be using it in a manner that attempts to isolate it from the grid?[/quote]
They will have one power source only difference is which one is dictated by me (junctions in the attic are code as they are accessible). Code or not on the power source if it is written that you cant its for people that leave breakers on and dont know which goes to which. No grid tie in will be used as the grid will be only used for a while until im aware of 100% off grid (selling power back is such a waste). Im leaving the grid tie in for the future for the hell of it more than anything else. My reasoning for the grid is to make sure I have power at all times while I iron out all kinks as ultimitly there wont even be a meter here. I really dont want to be on it as no one really should want to. I have a pair of outback inverters 4000w each (i plan on stacking them)I bought off a dude that didnt know what they were for $600 for both with 2 outback charge controlers mx-60s. I search for deals for months at a time (as well as having connections to the guys that clear out foreclosures helps).
