Hello All,

I have a solar set-up out in the middle of the woods so it can power my (2) pond aerators - one is 20A and the other is 10A.

My solar inverter (link) runs 6kW @ 220~240Vac (25-27A) and wants me to run 10AWG 4-conductor (the example uses Y/g, Bl, Br, Bl) as its output. In theory, I need to run these 4 conductors into a panel as the "main feed", and then have a 20A-rated 2-pole and a 10A-rated 2-pole comping off of it.

Questions:
1. How do I do this?
2. Does anyone have a recommended panel and breakers?
3. Can someone confirm if the breakers they sell at Home Depot are DPDT or DPST? I'm not sure if it matters in this case since each breaker is handling a single load.

Thank you!
