New Smart Enabled Electrical Panel from West Seattle Electric & Solar

Whether you need a charging station for an electrical vehicle, want to add solar to your home or simply are looking for innovative home-based power management solutions, you may want to take a look at these two new electrical breaker panels - one smart enabled - from West Seattle Electric & Solar.

Manufactured by home automation company Leviton, these panels feature a unique design that lets the homeowner or renter configure or change them as their electrical needs change or grow.  At the heart of the design are plug-in breakers that can be popped in and out by the consumer, without the need for an electrician and without the need for rewiring each individual breaker, because branch circuits are directly wired into the breaker panel, not the individual breaker.  

With the smart enabled panel, breakers feature color coding that tells you the status of the breaker at a glance, through a transparent cover.  You can tell instantly by the color whether you need to reset a tripped breaker, replace a breaker or call an electrician.  You can even monitor and manage the electrical panel with an app from Leviton, turning switches off and on remotely as needed to manage power requirements.

For homes or condos with older breakers, or where there is a need for an exterior electrical panel, Levitron has a new hybrid utility panel that includes the main breaker box.  Like the smart enabled panel,  the hybrid utility panel features Leviton’s plug in breakers that allow you to install whole home surge protection directly into the main breaker panels, as well as add features in future for solar power or backup generators, and without entering the home.
