Electrical panel

An AC/DC electrical distribution panel comprising:

• a housing;
• a line voltage alternating current (AC) port configured for connection to a national electrical distribution grid at line voltage;
• a low voltage direct current (DC) port configured for connection to a DC load;
• a circuit board assembly electrically coupled to the AC port and the DC port;
• the circuit board assembly including an AC connector array coupled to the AC port, and a DC connector array coupled to the DC port;
• one or more modular NEC Class 2 AC/DC power supplies removably coupled to the AC connector array and the DC connector array;
• a processor operatively engaged with the circuit board assembly, the processor configured to selectively switch the power supplies on and off;
• the circuit board assembly including a current meter configured to monitor the current load being drawn from the DC port, wherein the processor is configured to selectively activate and deactivate various power supplies in response to the monitored current load;
• an IP communication module coupled to the processor;
• wherein the processor is configured to reduce DC power outputted by the panel in response to communications received by the communications module;
• the communications module being configured to communicate with networked devices coupled to the DC port;
• the processor is configured to deactivate individual ones of the power supplies and generate an alarm signal upon detection of power output outside of a predetermined range;
• DC power contacts coupled to the DC connector array, the DC power contacts configured to receive DC power from local sources;
• the processor configured to turn off the power supplies as power from local power sources are available;
• and
• one or more DC to AC inverters configured to generate AC power when sufficient local power sources are available.
