The Square D QO130L200PG is a plain 200A, 30-space breaker panel that can become a smart panel later, using Square D’s add-on control relays and energy monitor. It sells for about $200 to $270 on Amazon and up to about $590 at electrical supply houses.
Installation and Cost
- Main lug only: it has no main breaker. Use it as a subpanel, pair it with a meter-main disconnect, or add Square D’s main breaker kit so it can serve as the main panel.
- Cover: sold separately; the QO130L200PGC version includes one.
- Who installs it: a licensed electrician with a permit, since a panel swap means pulling the meter.
- Breakers: it takes QO plug-on neutral breakers, so budget for those on top of the box.
What You Can Control
Out of the box, nothing. Square D’s QO Smart Panel Solution adds control relays that snap onto QO plug-on neutral breakers, including a 60A relay for EV chargers, ranges and heat pumps, plus a Schneider Energy Monitor that installs in the panel. You then get circuit control and energy data in the Schneider Home app, only on the circuits you choose.
Installation, Climate and Shipping
It replaces your electrical panel or is wired into it, so a licensed electrician must install it, and a permit and inspection are usually required. Installation adds a large cost on top of the price.
It works the same in any climate. Homes in storm-prone areas, with frequent outages or lightning, have the most reason to add panel upgrades and surge protection.
On Amazon it is shipped and sold by RES, LLC, a third-party seller rather than the brand. Check the seller’s rating and return policy before you buy, because the seller on a listing can change. Free delivery was showing when I checked on November 10, 2026.
