I need to find what installers are using for a meter base and over current limiting devices.
Are we allowed to use a combo load center/meter base for a PV project or do we need to install separate equipment boxes?
I found a meter base and combo load center that appears to supply what is needed, a meter base for production logging and a load center for over current disconnection.
Using enphase I need a 2 pole 20 amp breaker for each string. This box provides both
meter, circuit breakers and combining of array strings, and the price is decent: Square D by Scheider Electric Homeline 125 Amp 8-Space 16-Circuit Combination Service.
Also do I need ground fault breakers or normal, I haven't found a definitive yes/no in the NEC 2008 manual.
Any comments on any of this?

Todd,
We sell a lot of these. This RGM (revenue grade meter) is Enphase compatible. If you need a meter socket, then the panel you listed is a good one.
You do not use a GFI breaker with Enphase.
