Main Panel Upgrades

Your home’s main electrical panel is the central distribution point for electricity throughout the property. When an older panel begins causing problems or no longer fits the home’s electrical needs, a main panel upgrade (MPU) can provide a more reliable foundation for the electrical system. Rehab Solar provides main panel upgrades for homeowners throughout San Diego County.

Common reasons homeowners contact us include breakers that repeatedly trip, concerns about an aging electrical panel, or electrical changes associated with other home improvements. A main panel upgrade may involve replacing the existing panel and updating related breakers, fuses, wiring connections, or other electrical components as required for the installation.

When a Main Panel Upgrade May Be Needed

An electrical panel should reliably distribute power to the circuits throughout the home. However, electrical demands can change over time as equipment is added or a property is renovated. Older equipment can also become worn, damaged, or unreliable.

If your electrical panel is frequently tripping or giving you ongoing problems, it is worth having the system evaluated. Rehab Solar can review the existing equipment and determine what work is appropriate for the property. For general tips on home energy use, the U.S. Department of Energy is also a helpful resource.

• Evaluate the existing main electrical panel and related equipment.
• Identify visible electrical concerns that should be addressed.
• Review how planned electrical changes may affect the panel.
• Replace or update components that are part of the approved upgrade.
• Confirm the new equipment is properly integrated with the home’s electrical system.

Main Panels and Solar Equipment

Main panel work can also become part of a solar or battery project when the existing electrical equipment needs to be changed to accommodate the new system. If you are planning a solar project, visit our new solar installation page. Homeowners considering energy storage can also learn more about home battery systems, which can be set up to back up your home during an outage.
