    <div>Several years ago we added 3,200 watts
      to an existing 24V system with an APT 4B, which has only 5
      CD-style DC breaker spaces. We had to add four more OBDC
      panel-mount breakers. We installed them in the cover of the
      SW4024's DC conduit box. Same method; drill, jigsaw with tape to
      protect against scratches, and files. This one had to look clean,
      as it was a permitted/inspected upgrade and it had to look like it
      was done that way at the factory. Probably took an hour to get it
