When designing a solar system, the total amperage required for the system is computed. This is compared to the amperage of your existing electrical panels. If the current amperage in your electrical panel is too low your electrical panel will be required to be replaced.

How do you know if you need to upgrade your power?

Homes built in the 80s and before may require a panel upgrade or they may not. That will depend on the model and how much power the solar requires not to mention the usage of your home that we must take into factor.

Types of Electrical panel:

We install many types of electrical panels. The most common residential panel upgrade is from 100 Amps to 200 or 400 Amps. And for our commercial installations, the sizes can range anywhere from 200 AMP to 230KV for high voltage applications.

The cost of an electrical panel upgrade can range anywhere from $1500 and higher. The actual cost will be determined upon identifying whether the connection between your electrical panel and the utility grid is above ground or underground, in which case trenching might be required-commonly known as overhead and underground services.
