What does my panel readiness score tell me?

  1. Ready (Proceed as-is)
    Your panel can handle the project with no expected upgrade costs (~50% of projects).

  2. Tight (Best solved with load management)

    Your panel is close to its limit. This project is possible, but load management is the most reliable way to gain certainty you will pass inspection and unlock full performance of your panel to enable future appliance additions

  3. Constrained (Upgrade or load management required)
    Your panel is out of capacity or space. You’ll need either load management to proceed, or get a full panel upgrade if you have major renovations in addition to electrification that you are planning.
