Is it legal to have 2 sources of power feed circuits in a house. For example, when the Power goes off the photovoltaic will energize a small 110 volt panel with a select few circuits. The HO then wants the 7000 watt manual generator to be able to be cranked up and feed other circuits in the house. I don't think this is legal.
I proposed that the 7kw gen could feed the PV panel and the gen panel. With the use of 2 transfer switches I think this can be done.
What the ho wants to do is use the PV when there is an outage however if the power is out for more than 36 hours she wants to be able to use the gen. to energize the wine cooler, etc that are not part of the PV.
Am I correct in stated that the first scenario is not compliant?
I guess I am thinking 225.30-- are the gen & PV considered feeders at this point?
