Includes a ground bar for a complete installation
One of the most widely installed load center families in North America
Think of this as the foundation rather than the finished smart panel. Square D’s QO 200A plug-on neutral load center is a well-built, widely available panel that’s specifically designed to accept QO smart breakers, surge protection devices, and Wiser energy add-ons as you’re ready for them, making it a sensible starting point for anyone planning a panel upgrade with smart features in mind.
Think of this as the foundation rather than the finished smart panel — it's a well-built, plug-on-neutral load center that's ready for QO smart breakers, surge protection, and energy monitors as you add them. If you're planning a panel upgrade anyway, starting with a smart-ready panel like this saves headaches later.
Common Questions
Is this panel smart on its own?
No, out of the box it's a standard load center. It becomes smart when you add QO smart breakers, a Wiser energy monitor, or similar compatible add-ons to it over time.
Can I install this myself?
A full panel installation or replacement is a licensed-electrician job in virtually every jurisdiction, this isn't a DIY-safe project given the risk involved.
What's the benefit of plug-on neutral versus older panels?
It simplifies and speeds up breaker installation since neutral wires plug directly into the panel's bus instead of needing individually pigtailed connections.
Will my existing Square D breakers work in this panel?
Compatibility depends on the specific breaker series, check that your existing breakers are the plug-on neutral QO type before assuming a direct swap.
