[RE-wrenches] Equipment for 400 Amp Service Supply Side & 2 200s

[Jeff Clearwater]

Thanks August yes but am I missing where you put the third tap for the PV backfeed?  I need 2 x 200 amp mains plus a 200 amp pv backfees point and the meter needs to have test bypass links.

In the Bay Area these are frequently referred to as "California 400" panels, even though they are installed with a self contained 320 A rated utility meter, rather than a 400 A CT-meter. They are great for systems with large energy storage, because one 200 A breaker can feed non-backup loads and the other 200 A breaker can feed backup loads and solar.  Anyway, here's one such example:
