Good morning,
I have clearance from the tower to install a summer array in our backyard which will increase my solar panel power by 3000-4000 watts depending on which panels I purchase. With these panels my total solar will be 15k-16k.
So, I could be pushing 300amps charging?
Last summer I pushed 225 amps.
I run all my dc power through a Schneider pdp (see photo) which has a 250 amp breaker. I cannot find a larger breaker that fits this pdp.
Also, I can only run one a/c unit, my 5ton, if the 3 ton turns on it trips the 250 amp breaker. I have a micro air soft start on the 5 ton, works great. I am able to run the 5 ton all afternoon and fully charge batteries that will get me almost through the night. It would be nice to run both AC units during the day.
How do I increase the size of this breaker?
