Chapter 4: Installing the Backed-up Loads

Panel and Meter

This chapter describes installation of the backed-up loads panel and a meter.

Installing the Backed-up Loads Panel

Install a secondary AC panel for backed-up loads (not supplied by SolarEdge). Rewire the backed-up loads
through this panel.
Install one pole 25A as the main circuit breaker.
