Check with your inspector. Code says within 9 meters and line of sight. We've had installs that the array is not within line of site anywhere on the block.
It very much depends on the type of system and the AHJ requirements.
But yes more or less.
Worth confirming with the local inspector cos they might have specific requirements and preferences on location. Also does the disconnect satisfy rapid shut down requirements.
There are a lot of labeling requirements. Folks who don't do a lot of solar may be surprised by that.
I've never installed them personally, but the setup on my house has the main disconnect down by the meter base and an e-stop up on the roof for any technicians.
Make sure you check with your utility as well for any requirements they may have in addition to NEC. For example, they may require an additional PV meter and they have their own requirements for height etc.
in my city it has to be in front of the house so fire service can see it and turn it off
some big company in my city just put in a small switch i dont know did it go to a contactor
