Hi Jeff - There is no particular supply side connection location on this panel - I think if you needed that it is best to go with the Siemens part that Vincent sent over.
However, you could use the sum of all breakers rule on the internal bus and install up to 200 A of solar breakers in the panel. Then, use the other 200 A main breaker to feed your loads. If your loads are larger than 200 A, I suppose this won't work.
