Dave,
I would agree with you regarding the 175 amp main breaker
leaving plenty of headroom for power to a residence. The only exception
I'm aware of around these parts (No. Sierra) is the all electric house
that also has a ground source heat pump with heat strips for back-up. If
the GSHP can't keep up and the heat strips kick in, you're looking at
about a third of that 175 amps going to just heating. We've also done
the swap to 175 amp and its worked, so far, but...

Hi William,
It is unlikely that you will find a 200A panel with 60A of backfeed
capacity. You can reduce the main breaker to 175A though and then any
200A panel would work. I have never seen any residence come any where
close to drawing that much current that it would trip. We do it fairly
often and have never had an issue. Then you get 65A of backfeed capacity.
Cheers,
Dave

Friends:
I am working on a residential 1 phase project with a Solar Edge
10,000. I need to source a 200 amp meter/main with a 60 amp solar
input capability. This needs to be a free-standing pedestal. All
I am finding is wall mount (surface or flush) units.
Anyone know if a pedestal unit with these capabilities?
Thanks in advance.
