[RE-wrenches] Looking for Solar Ready pedestal

[frenergy]

Dave,

             I would agree with you regarding the 175 amp main breaker 
leaving plenty of headroom for power to a residence.  The only exception 
I'm aware of around these parts (No. Sierra) is the all electric house 
that also has a ground source heat pump with heat strips for back-up. If 
the GSHP can't keep up and the heat strips kick in, you're looking at 
about a third of that 175 amps going to just heating.  We've also done 
the swap to 175 amp and its worked, so far, but...
