*All electrical installations should be performed by a professional electrician. 

*We recommend a GFCI breaker for added protection.

*Installed breaker must support neutral.

*When shopping around be sure to confirm how many outlets are needed. Other systems require upwards of (4) 240v outlets, each of which can cost upwards of $750 each to install. 

*The 50A, back to back, panels draw an estimated 48 amps. A 50A breaker will work, but over time the draw can cause the breaker to fail, or trip randomly. The panels themselves have independent breakers inside them, so the larger 60A breaker is recommended, and provides protection for the wire in the wall going to the outlet.
