    Great video. I’m getting ready to do a panel upgrade and service entrance upgrade and I want to stub out for a generator and solar panels and possibly add a sub panel. Would love to see a video that includes all that. I also discovered those cable clamps that install from the inside - nice to see I made a good choice.

    • @electricalron
      @electricalron  Рік тому +4

      For the solar, it's likely going to be a back-feeding situation which would wold be 40, or a 50amp circuit breaker back feeding onto the busbar.
      For the generator too it would be a bit more complex because you have "lock out" the DC from the solar and prevent it from back-feeding onto the standby generator.

      My business started in 2009. Right after that in 2011 we had this October snowstorm that brought down branches from trees because the trees still had leaf's on them. Then we had hurricane Irene and hurricane Sandy. The combination of those three storms really pushed the standby and portable generators narrative.
