    Actually The company “General Electric” is one of the bestest electrical panel manufacturers although they feel like they’re junk. Also the bestest electrical panel manufacturers are Square D, and General Electric. but the company “ eaton“, they make kind of middle of the road electrical panels and breakers. I am A kid and my name is Caleb and I really like doing electrical work. Once when I was visiting my grandma Bob came and was fixing electrical issues in her garage I came to help Bob , I saw a burnt reseptical and plugged in a plug tester and it said that the hot and neutral wires were switched around and I fixed it.And if you were wondering who’s Bob,Bob is a person that goes around and fixes problems in peoples’ homes. also I am 9 years old.

    For the solar, it's likely going to be a back-feeding situation which would wold be 40, or a 50amp circuit breaker back feeding onto the busbar. For the generator too it would be a bit more complex because you have "lock out" the DC from the solar and prevent it from back-feeding onto the standby generator.

Not only does it look better, it makes it so much nicer for the "next guy" to do anything in that panel. I'm no electrician and I would feel 100% safer going into that panel, than what it was before. Great video too, I learned quite a bit.
