Hello,
Looking for some expert or informed advice.
I have an interesting power distribution system at my house. I have a 400 main panel that splits to a 200 amp to feed the majority of the house circuits, a shop subpanel that connects my solar arrays and a pool house sub panel (see picture)
My primary goal is to power my main home circuits for battery back-up, and peak demand pricing since I'm on PGE EV rate schedule (crazy expensive during 2-9pm!).
So, would the powerwall feed a sub-set of circuits on by 200 amp sub panel or would it connect directly to my main panel?
Also, if I decided to just feed a sub-set of circuits on my 200 amp sub panel, and used the powerwall to hedge peak pricing during peak times, wouldn't I still be pumping power to the grid from my solar arrays since its not fed thru the powerwall?
Feel free to plug in the powerwall where you see fit.
