Love watching your videos Ryan and have a lot of respect and admiration towards you. Being on the AHJ side of the fence we have always required the disconnects to be grouped per 230.72(A). I agree with everything except it being a separate service but for arguments sake we'll say it is. My question, would not every separate single family dwelling service require an emergency disconnect? If so 230.85(A)3 would apply correct? Please share your thoughts. Our whole reasoning is to direct a first responder to a single location to shut off all power to the structure.
thank you for the info ! if i may ask; treating it as a separate service disconnect would mean bonding the disconnect as you stated, but also grounding it likewise. so another ground rod(s), grounding rod conductor, or would that tie into the "main"/original grounding electrode conductor? i hear the term ground(ing) loop thrown around all the time when it comes to inter-active solar installations. btw, im hooked on these videos !!
Still trying to figure out how to add PV that doesn't ever feed the utility. My local utility makes it confiscatory to feed power to them when generating more PV than used. Is that covered in 690?
Excellent Content! The examples are very helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Since I found your channel Ryan I no longer watch Mike Holt. Your explanations are clear and fun!!
Glad you can figure all this out!

Good catch on 8 vs 4 aluminum
Audio is very low
I was just thinking that is backwards

confiscatory = meaning what? they take your system away?
