I am advising him to leave his EVSE off the backup circuit for now, and if the load calculations support it just run the whole home from the single 200A subfeed.
600A panel is a huge and expensive addition, its only money right? I say if you can do it with smaller equipment that is "Right sized" then why throw away a few thousand dollars? His loads are only 400A, and only 120A of the generation is uncontrolled.
All the Powerwalls are smart enough to control their output, so why not use that feature to save some money?
Once the whole home is fed from a single 200A feed, then the ATS coordination becomes a non issue as well.
I am trying to come up with a solution to propose to my installer that is technically the easiest, since they may not have the technical knowledge, or willingness to learn new stuff.
There is not reason to ask load or non load. I am just trying to get everyone on one 200 A feed, so I can use the other for EV charges, if possible.
So, a cleaner, technically easier solution is to buy an expensive 600amp panel, I might have better luck getting my installer to consider, than
Doing other stuff? But am not trying to tell them what to do.
The first thing is just to verify I can get all my loads, which just assume its on the PGE line, to legally be under 200amps. I am still waiting for closure on can the minisplits be use as part of the 40%, rather than counted at 100% over 8000 watts.
Thanks everyone for the ideas and technical support. I am finding my home is pretty corner case, but that is what makes it so much fun.
I hope some of this might help others. Wish I would have look more into this before I had the stuff installed. Oh well
