The meeting focused on the Leviton Load Center, highlighting its unique features, integration options, and consumer benefits.
The discussion covered technical specifications, smart home integrations, and key safety advancements compared to traditional panels.
Participants reviewed practical applications for both builders and homeowners, including solar, battery, and generator support alongside remote management features.
The session concluded with an invitation for continued collaboration and outreach to potential partners in the modular home market.
Action Items
Collaboration team: Engage with modular home builders to discuss Leviton Load Center integration opportunities.
Product team: Collect and review feedback from builders and homeowners regarding usability and installation experiences.
Marketing: Prepare outreach materials and case studies tailored to the modular home industry.
Technical support: Create troubleshooting guidelines for remote diagnostics using indicator lights and app controls.
Leviton Load Center Product Overview
The Leviton Load Center, launched in 2018, addresses longstanding industry needs around efficiency, scalability, and consumer safety.
It is available in multiple circuit configurations (20, 30, 42, 66 circuits) and is solar-ready with a 225-amp bus rating, reducing the need for panel changes when solar is added.
Installation is streamlined, with all wiring landed on terminal strips rather than directly to breakers, enabling fast trim-out and easy breaker snap-in.
Three types of breakers are available: traditional, electronic (with enhanced safety and GFI self-testing), and smart (with energy monitoring capabilities).
The system allows easy upgrades by swapping standard breakers for smart units.
Smart Home Integration & Energy Management
The system supports whole-home energy monitoring through a hub that communicates with smart breakers via Bluetooth and with home Wi-Fi for remote control and analytics.
Additional current transformers (CTs) allow monitoring of solar inputs and battery walls, providing a full picture of consumption and production.
Integration with generators removes the need for separate subpanels; the system automatically manages essential and non-essential loads via remote control through the app and low-voltage wiring.
Remote breaker management and scheduling via the My Leviton app allow homeowners control over circuits (e.g., for pools, heat tape), improving energy efficiency and safety.
Consumer Experience & Support
The white panel design is intended to be more approachable and less intimidating for homeowners.
Remote diagnostics are supported: homeowners or electricians can reference indicator lights for troubleshooting, minimizing service calls.
The system is designed for modular factories and field electricians, simplifying installation and post-move-in scalability.
Decisions
Adopt Leviton Load Center for modular home market outreach — Based on its advanced features, safety, and compatibility, the team agreed to promote and implement the Load Center within the modular home segment.
