Abstract
An assembly, system, and method for receiving, distributing, and monitoring electrical power received from one or more sources is characterized by a residential electrical panel having at least a main bus panel having one or more house load circuit breakers, a main circuit breaker, a meter, and a battery output; a second bus panel having a battery input communicatively connected to the residential electrical panel and one or more critical load circuit breakers; a solar sub panel communicatively connected to the meter; and a monitoring device communicatively connected to the residential panel, the solar sub panel, and the second bus bar.
