HI William,

I agree with your choices below, but I"m  curious why you decided against the midnite Epanel for the SI?

thanks

I understand a disclaimer, but please, give it up with a rule of thumb to get us started.  I finally received a broad hint that for the SI4548 or the SI 6048 the recommendation is for 250 amp breakers and 4/0 wire within reasonable distances.
