Hi All,
I have a customer who has a duplex and has a 200 amp drop (100 amp per unit). My customer wants to get a 400 amp drop (200 amp per unit) and install solar. I typically do single family homes and when we upgrade from 100 to 200 amps we always install a solar ready panel that has bus bars rated at 225 amps. I have installed a Square D MP 42200 before to a duplex (2 meters w 2 - 200 amp breakers feeding sub panels) but I haven't done one with solar involved. Will solar simply be added to the 200 amp sub panels if I go this route? Doesn't the main 400 amp service panel need to have a higher rated bus bar? Does anyone have any suggestions or product recommendations for this install?
Thanks,
Ted
