Still learning the basics lol
Critical loads panels are to just power those X amount of items when the grid goes down with PV and batteries correct?
When setting up an a solar system, the main house panel is powered by solar+batteries (if you go SBU instead of SUB) right? So its like Panels->inverter->main house breaker panel-> critical loads panel
When grid is down then its Panels->inverter->critical loads panel
Sooooo if im generating enough solar or have enough solar+batteries I can run a dryer BUT when the grid goes off then I cannot if its not in the critical loads panel correct? What happens if my solar+battery aint enough to power my main house panel? I assume inverter switches to grid power to supplement the rest? (if Solar+batteries=6kw and I need 2kw more then the inverter uses those 2kw from the grid for a total of 8kw (if the inverter can handle such power of course)
