Looking for some additional input on Article 710, specifically 710.15(A) for a home that is completely off grid with solar as the supply.
As I read it, if you have a home with load calculations requiring a 200 amp service, you'd install the service as normal, but the solar supply only needs to be rated to provide enough power to feed your highest equipment load, most likely your heat.
Does this seem correct, or am I missing something? The building code only really requires the home have heat, but if you were to do this, you wouldn't be able to use your range, water heater, dryer, etc etc if the heat was running.
