I'm in a very rural section of a Sierra Nevada county in otherwise highly regulated California. Originally, for our own home, I drafted construction plans and went off to the county office to apply for a permit.
The county's response was "why are you bothering us with this?".
A contractor standing behind me pulled me aside and explained, unless I was building a commercial structure, or a rental housing unit, they don't care what you build. I said ooookay, and was on my way. Since then, I've completed the cabin, a 40' X 20' combination workshop/carport, and a 20' X 20'
tractor shed. No permits, no inspections, no increased taxes. I still followed code in my construction, just in case attitudes change in the next 30 years or so. I did have an electrician inspect the work for my off-grid system installation, and he was present when I flipped the system on.
It looks like you installed maybe 16 ~300W panels or so, is that correct? What are your production numbers like? For my own system, I went with Schneider's XW+ 6848, which can power our 240V well pump. With a 4,500W primary array, our personal best is 26kWh in one day, while powering the well pump. On non-irrigation days though I find us consuming <5kWh. What are your consumption numbers like? I think your MagnaSine is also
native 120/240V, isn't it?
I did not roof-mount my panels like you did. I put them on single-pole rotating ground mounts, that could be turned East to West over the
course of the day. It isn't motorized, I just turn the arrays by hand. Facing East to West, my 4,500W array can power the well pump (~2100W) from 8am till 4pm. What's the source of
water at your place?
