Yes I have 200 amp service and main panel.

I have to do some rewiring. One of the out buildings I would put solar on has a 100 amp sub panel fed fed from a 60 amp tandem breaker with 6-2 wire from the main. The nuteral and ground are ran on the bare ground....
So I'm going to have to dig up all that wire and lay at least 6-3 uf-b. Or dig it up put it in conduit and run a seperate neutral wire.
It's easier just to do stuff right the first time.

This out building will likely be my first project. I don't think I can fit more than six 300ish watt panels on the south sloping roof.
