What size of an electrical load center should I install in my new home to prepare for solar in the future?

To ensure a simple connection in the load center, we recommend installing a 225A Square D Homeline load center, with a 200A main breaker. The solar breaker is a two pole breaker and will need two free slots on the opposite end of the bus bar from the main breaker. Approximately 90% of all standard-sized residential installations will be able to be made in this size of load center.
