    Load Calc, Backfeed Calc and Panel Upgrade Options

    Thanks @SoundDaTrumpet , but seems SCE does not allow separate meter...oh well. If you are aware of any other combination panel that allows 200A main breaker or sub feed lugs, do let me know. I am leaning the same way...install surge suppressor, but skip Sense.

    Load Calc, Backfeed Calc and Panel Upgrade Options

    Thanks @BrettS , that makes sense. Question - Would the recommendation change if there are some loads I do not want/need to be backed up - e.g. the spa sub-panel and the EV charging outlets? Would these then remain on the main panel, and backed-up loads still need to be moved to a different...

    Load Calc, Backfeed Calc and Panel Upgrade Options

    Thank you both, that was very helpful information and really helped me firm up my decision. Also seemed like the SCE approval was just for the 400A panel upgrade, not service. Bottom line, I have abandoned the 400A upgrade but decided to still get the 200A/225A panel upgrade even though it is...

    I am currently in the process of getting solar from a local company (did not work out with Tesla due to type of roof, and I wanted microinverters anyway). I had placed the order for 2 Powerwalls as well, but that will now be considered next year or later. I am in SCE territory, and wanted to...

    Minimum tile weight for install

    Ha...exactly the same happened to me, and I chose the same 34 panels but with the IQ7A micros. My advisor recommended to cancel the current order and place new one for Powerwalls....will be interested to know what yours says.

    Questions about NEM 2.0 and TOU

    So I have read several articles for NEM 2.0, but still have a couple questions regarding how that interacts with TOU. 1) Does the true-up/balancing process happen in terms of kWh generated/used, or in $ terms by considering the time energy was produced/used? I am in SCE area, not sure if that...
