    Solar Physics and the Main Panel Bottleneck

    Meilleure citation de Solar Physics and the Main Panel Bottleneck

    “

    The sum of the main breaker and 125% of the solar inverter output cannot exceed 120% of the busbar’s rating. This '120% Rule' is the single most important concept for anyone looking at a solar installation, as it determines whether your existing electrical panel can safely handle two-way power traffic.
