Some panels can take 1/2 width breakers, and you can fit 2 in the single slot. But not all panels have this feature available, and it does make it more likely for uneducated to overload a panel.Powerfab top of pole PV mount (2) | Listeroid 6/1 w/st5 gen head | XW6048 inverter/chgr | Iota 48V/15A charger | Morningstar 60A MPPT | 48V, 800A NiFe Battery (in series)| 15, Evergreen 205w "12V" PV array on pole | Midnight ePanel | Grundfos 10 SO5-9 with 3 wire Franklin Electric motor (1/2hp 240V 1ph ) on a timer for 3 hr noontime run - Runs off PV ||

just out of curiosity, which breaker is your backfeed for Solar? It looks like you only have a 100A panel, which maxes out Solar Backfeed to 20A. But only breaker I see on bottom is 30A. So that really confuses me.
EDIT: Oh, I see the panel appears to be 125 bus rating, so with your 100A breaker, you are fine.Last edited by blueman2; 04-14-2021, 08:33 PM.Comment
