Solar-ready meter breakers and loadcenters

Eaton's solar-ready meter breakers and loadcenters feature factory-installed permanent markings, which help to ensure National Electrical Code® (NEC®) 705 compliance for safety markings on parallel energy sources and their disconnects. The wide variety of loadcenters and meters breakers are designed for utility power and solar photovoltaic (PV) power to work together. This enables PV energy to land on the distribution, which makes installation quick and easy compared to the more complicated line-side utility connection. A copper bus rated up to 225 A maximizes the allowable PV input at 70 A for standard units with a 200 A main disconnect.

Meeting industry requirements

The solar power centers feature industry-exclusive, factory installed permanent markings, which help to ensure NEC compliance. Required by the NEC, these markings enable quick and easy identification of product ratings and location of the parallel energy source disconnect.

All the power you need in one enclosure

Eaton’s solar power centers combine both utility power and solar photovoltaic (PV) power into one enclosure. Solar power centers can be applied as a component of a complete PV electrical system. Eaton offers the industry’s most complete line of balance of system (BOS) products including loadcenters and meter breakers.
