We are inputting a PV inverter(s) into a garage subpanel using a 50 A CB (to code. The subpanel (100A main CB/125 A Bus) connects to the main service panel via a 100 A CB in the main service panel (200 A bus /200 A bus). This is incorrect. Hence the problem : We should be connecting to a 50 A CB in the Main service panel, but cannot because the max value of the CB cannot exceed 40 A. So,can I connect this garage subpanel between the service main CB and the utility meter using a line side tap ? Of course,we would use a fused AC disconnect. We do this all the time for a subpanel which only contains inverter CBs. This is a new situation where the subpanel not only contains our inverter CB but ALSO load CBs which supply current to the garage loads.
QUESTION : can we disconnect the garage subpanel from the 100 A CB in the main service panel and reroute to a line side tap ??
