Will this model work with a 200 amp panel?

This unit requires 3-50 amp breakers for a total of 150 amps. So yes it will work with a 200 amp panel but if your power requirement for the whole house exceed that 200 amps you could have a problem. It would be a rare thing for that unit to ever draw the full 150 amps that is allotted to it but if multiple points in your home are drawing hot water at the same time it could happen. Hope this helps.

No, sorry, you'll need to upgrade to a 400 amp panel, this unit will provide every bathroom in your house with hot water running constantly 24 hours a day. I built new so it was easy but well worth it when you consider you don't pay a dime for hot water until someone turns on a hot water tap. What's really great about this unit is when you want hotter water it's instant, no waiting for a conventional unit to build up 40 or 50 gallons of extra heat.

It's not more efficient. The panels only put out 250 watts when new from factory under ideal conditions. You can use the 215 with that panel. You might lose out out on a few watts here and there but I don't think the price difference warrants the reward. Just make sure you get the correct connectors to match your panel. I.e. mc4 vs tyco etc.

Is this the only panel in the circuit? If yes you could use as little as 10 amp charge controller.if you plan on adding I'd total the amps your panels produce....

I have a PX-110 and it worked great for me. Don't know why it wouldn't work on the 200, but I don't know for sure.

LOL- first I've heard of this one, but creative none the less. I don't think it will work. It draws low amperage, but it is designed to work from a 12 volt system that delivers a regular and consistent voltage input.

No. It will not. It only has a regular 120v house plug, BUT, it could work if you bought a 200 or 400 watt (just to be safe and have a little reserve power) INVERTER. That is a device that hooks to your battery and turns the DC power from your battery into AC power. It hooks to the battery with cables and then has one or two outlets on the box. Here is a AMAZON Link for a 200W -

This may or may not work,I recommend a larger panel as this panel only puts out about 0.7 to 0.85 amps under typical conditions.

Yes you can use this unit. Make sure you have it on at least a 25 amp breaker.

Yes it should. I have a 200 amp service panel with 2 legs of 120, to give me 220 together where needed. I hope that answers your question.

The HQRP charge controller will work with your 100 watt panel. Whether or not your entire "system" is right for your needs depends on your loads. If you plan on running a fridge, TV, radio, lots of lights, electric heater, etc., it ain't gonna happen.

The model that I have is for 120 volt use only. I guess maybe use a converter or something. Hope this helps.... Pat.

Hi Teresa, First off, the disclaimer: I am not an electrician. With that aside...yes, it will most definitely work. I am currently using the recommended 220 with 2-50 amp breakers, so you have more than enough power available. Since I wrote my review I have nothing to add other than the unit is still performing flawlessly and satisfactorily. Let me know if you have any other questions. John

Hi, I'm a little confused by your question. Are you asking if the 6145 model can be used for 200 volt plug-ins?

According to the quick installation guide, the maximum amp draw of this unit is 100 amps and not 200 amps as stated on some posts here. How much amp it draws depends on your water usage and temperature. Temperature can be adjusted between 80⁰F - 140⁰F. It does require three 40 amps breakers and that may pose an issue when it comes to older homes. Most older homes main panel is 100 amps with little room for expansion. A 200 amp panel upgrade may very well be worth it.

This one will likely not work at all. I would suggest you get a voltage transformer rated at 900W or more.

Yes it will work. I'm using two 100 watt panels wired in series to get 24 volts running to the charge controller and then to my 12 volt battery bank. works great. You'll have have less resistance from the panel to the controller in 24 volts as well.

Yes, I would recommend one. The panel puts out about 22 volts at peak power.
