We have been doing a number of battery backup systems in conjunction with the PV System.
Usually this involves installing a new panel and moving circuits into a "backed up loads panel"
My question is about updating breakers in this case. Should we be updating everything that needs Arc-fault this time?
Panel is often right next to main panel and the circuit does not change, just gets moved to new panel.
It seems like the right thing to do is update them, but this can be an extra $1000 in breakers easy.
Any thoughts on this?
thanks
