Here is my wirings for the house:
Grid ---> Main panel (w/ some loads) ---> Gateway (w/ PW+Solar) ---(backup lugs)---> backup panel
|___________(non-backup lugs)---> AC/Heater
My understanding is that (please correct me):
1. During outage, my backup panel will be powered by PW, but AC/Heaters and loads in main panel will lose power. This is what I desired.
2. When grid is still on, and it is peak price hour, PW will also power AC/Heater though they are on non-backup lugs. Is this correct? Assuming power usage is within PW capacity.
I searched and read past posts and would like to get some confirmation if my understanding is correct:
3. If I add a CT between grid and main panel and connect to Gateway, GW would know my overall usage and can feed back to main panels duing peak hours (Grid is on)? This would be the most ideal situation as I can completely skip the non-backup lugs wirings and keep AC/Heater in the main panel.
