Title: Installation Location For MNPV8HV-DISCO Box with Birdhouse
Post by: neutronspin on September 20, 2018, 01:51:53 PM
I am installing a new rooftop 4.6KW solar array with the MNPV8HV-DISCO disconnect box and remote Birdhouse to comply with my fire-code.  I understand the Disconnecting combiner must be within 10 ft. of the array.  If the side of the house where I mount the disconnect is within the 10 ft. requirement is that OK or does the box have to be mounted on the rooftop?  I would prefer to put it in a vertical configuration if possible but to reach the box would require a ladder to access it if it was installed on the outside house wall.  Any information appreciated.
