Abstract
A parallel electric service system including a combination load center is disclosed. More particularly, the parallel electric service system encompasses a combination load center adapted to receive power from a utility power source and a parallel power source such as a solar module, wind turbine, fuel cell, or the like. Power may be supplied to electrical loads of branches of the system by the utility power source, parallel power source, or both. The system also provides electrical usage metering and allows electrical power to flow back to the grid. Methods of connecting parallel power sources in the parallel electric service system are provided, as are other aspects.
