[RE-wrenches] 200 Amp Main Equip for 60A Solar

[Jeff Wongstrom]

Jeff.

Although not marketed for PV, the Eaton Cutler Hammer Ranch Panel CMBER88B200BTS has a 270 amp rating and comes with a 200 amp main breaker with space for a 70 amp secondary main breaker space(a tap between the meter and the main breaker) as well as pass through lugs and 8 more breaker spaces.  The local Platt stocks them at less than $300.  We have used them for several service upgrades and love them.
