    Connecting an Off Grid Solar System to a Manufactured Home

    We have a Park Model manufactured home that we will be living in while we build our off grid home. Is there a way to connect the cable from the main breaker panel(Square D 150 amp) to an inverter?

    It depends if the main panel is designed for split phase 240VAC or single phase 120VAC. If you open the panel cover, does it have a single bus that all breakers plug into, or 2 bus, with alternate breakers contacting alternate bus ? (that would be 240 split phase, and not advisable).
    Also, mod sine inverters can't feed a grounded (per code) panel. You need a pure sine inverter.
