A power management system includes a relay connected to an electrical load, a power management module configured to receive electrical power from each of a battery and a utility source, and in communication with the relay, and a controller in communication with the battery and the power management module. The controller monitors a battery load on the battery and communicates to the power management module to selectively disconnect the relay connected to the electrical load based on the battery load.

Interconnection meter socket adapters are provided. An interconnection meter socket adapter comprises a housing enclosing a set of electrical connections. The interconnection meter socket adapter may be configured to be coupled to a standard distribution panel and a standard electric meter, thereby establishing connections between a distribution panel and a user such that electrical power may be delivered to the user while an electrical meter measures the power consumption of the user. A power regulation module is disposed between the interconnection meter socket adapter, and configured to selectively connect one or more energy sources or energy sinks.

There is described an electric meter center comprising electric meter sockets and breakers. The electric meter center comprises an electric meter area comprising compartments, each one of the electric meter sockets being in one of the electric meter area compartments. It further comprises a breaker area distinct from the electric meter area and comprising compartments, each one of the breakers being in one of the breaker area compartments. There is a physical separation between the breaker area and the electric meter area. There is provided a plurality of panels, each one of the panels for covering at least one compartment, the at least one compartment to be covered by one of the panels being only within the same area.

A multi-family metering device including a plurality of modular meter compartments where the modular meter compartments are interconnected and laid out in a horizontal section. The multi-family metering device comprises a pull section having a first enclosure and a plurality of modular meter compartments for multiple service disconnects with an individual modular meter compartment provided for each service disconnect such that each modular meter compartment of the plurality of modular meter compartments having a second enclosure different from the first enclosure. One or more modular meter compartments of the plurality of modular meter compartments are configured to be attached to both or either side of the pull section. The second enclosures are joined together instead of providing one enclosure with a common wiring compartment that is divided into different sections.

A electrical distribution system has been developed to provide a remote central control point for individual circuits, and methods have been developed for retrofitting it to existing service panels or installing it into new service panels. This system provides a power circuit monitoring and control system that fits inside standard residential service panels, both new and retrofitted panels. The entire system can be retrofitted into existing breaker panel systems without the need of removing any permanent structure such as a wall. During this retrofit process, the panel cover on the existing distribution panel is first removed after the power to it is disconnected. The old breaker assembly is removed from the panel, and a circuit controller is then installed in the now available space within the panel. A new service panel enclosure with a circuit breaker assembly is installed directly over top of the enclosure.
