Inv current £ ( ( busbar ´ 1.2 ) – main ) /1.25or

Inv current £ ( ( busbar ´ 1.2 ) – main ) ´ 0.8note: ( 0.8 = 1/1.25)

Maximum inverter power formula using 120% option:

grid voltage ´ (((1.2 ´ busbar ) – main ) ´ 0.8) = max inverter power

Recall that backfed breakers will have to be located on the opposite
side of the busbar from the main breaker and that there shall be a label
saying the following words or equivalent:

Warning:
Power Source Output Connection—
Do Not Relocate This Overcurrent Device.

The reason that we can exceed the busbar rating is because we have cur-
rents feeding the busbar coming from different directions, which actu-
ally makes it easier on the busbar and prevents busbar “hot-spots” as
could happen if the backfeed breaker were put next to the main breaker.

Figure 9.7 120% option with multiple solar breakers acceptable
