In the realm of modern home energy management, Power Control Systems (PCS) are emerging as critical solutions amidst increasing demands driven by electric vehicles, heat pumps, and advanced appliances. Recent revisions to the National Electric Code (NEC) from 2020 to 2023 underscore the pivotal role of PCS in optimizing home energy setups.
Integrated with Energy Management Systems (EMS), PCS offers homeowners a pathway to navigate regulatory challenges and enhance energy efficiency without the need for costly main panel upgrades.
To help understand the changes, Solar Builder has released a white paper on Power Controls & NEC 2023. Written by Chris Crowell, Editor-in-Chief at Solar Builder, it contains information provided by Doug Amarhanow, Product Manager at FranklinWH.
