A) 50AWhat is the wiring and fuses for the powerwall +?
Why the 80%?
B) A negative attribute of all panels that holds multiple breakers is that for continuous loads (constant maximum current for > 3 hours), a breaker may trip at below its nameplate rating. As a result, breakers for continuous loads get upsized by a 125% factor; i.e. the maximum continuous load a breaker supports is 80% of nameplate rating. A side effect is that the wiring needs to get upsized accordingly, so that it is properly protected by the upsized breaker, even though wiring can handle 100% of ampacity on a continuous basis.
