Yes, unless your local electrical code or zoning ordinances prohibit it. Check with your local building officials to be sure.
However, longer wiring runs result in larger voltage drop, and wasted energy. In order to avoid this you must increase the size of the wiring, which increases the cost of the installation. It may not be cost effective depending on the size of your installation.

Can two 225 amp panels be fed from a 400 amp breaker?
Yes, but they obviously cannot be simultaneously loaded their maximum loads because the 400-amp breaker will blow well before that. Similarly, you can have multiple 100-amp panels fed from a 200-Amp main breaker, knowing that you will NEVER have 100 amps running in all panels at the same time.
Are circuit breaker panels chosen by total amperage of all circuit breakers in the panel?
Most often if you add up all the breaker values in a panel they will exceed the rating of the panel. The theory is that you never operate each breaker to its full capacity. The panels are sized to the maximum current that is capable of being supplied by the electric company equipment servicing your house. Correction: Panels are sized according to the outcome of a complicated process of estimating the maximum number of amps that are likely to be used at any one time. This gives you a minimum size and you install AT A MINIMUM the next larger size panel. I don't know of a maximum size by code but there are limits to what can be practically used. In the absence of this complicated process, there are some rules of thumb that are substituted on houses. These range from 100 amps to 200 amps.
How many amp do you need to run a house?
Minimal 100. Depends on load draw of home. Can be 200 amps or 400 amps as well.
Can you wire a 40 amp range to a 100 amp box if you are already about at 60 amps?
Yes, you can, you just can't have 100 amps running through the box at one time. For instance, I have a 450 amp box in my house, but all the breakers add up to 900.
How long to change a house electrical service from 100 amps to 200 amps?
If the electrical contractor has all of the materials ready for the job, the man hours should be about eight hours.
How many solar panels would you need to generate 100 amps?

What can you run on 4 100 watt solar panels?
You can run up your credit card account.
How many solar panels do they have in a solar farm?
THis depends on how large the solar farm is. It could range between 10-100 or sometimes somewhere up to 10,000 or 100,000
How do I select solar panels for my home?
Solar panels are a great option to use to reduce your electricity bill. For your first month's bill on your 2500 sq. ft. home you can see a reduction anywhere from $10 up to $100.
How many solar panels were used 100 years ago?
Charles Fritts created the first solar cells made from selenium wafers in 1883.
How many solar panels are in a solar plant?
The number of solar panels in an installation depends on a few factors, mainly the amount of physical space available for the installation and the required output for the panels. Residential and commercial solar grids for houses and businesses often utilize smaller panels and generally take up a smaller amount of space. The number of panels these installations use can range from just a few to a couple hundred. Solar power plants however have a very high expected output and take up a very large amount of land. As such, the number of panels at a solar power plant can be in the thousands. A solar power plant in Spain for instance has over 120,000 solar panels and produces 20 megawatts of power. The largest complete solar power plant currently resides in Ontario and boasts almost 100 megawatts of power and utilizes even more panels.
What is the average price of solar panels?
Cheap not good ones are from 50.00 to around 80. Goodish and great ones run from 100 to 800.
How many kilowatts do 100 solar panels produce?
Solar panels come in different powers. A quick search shows that some have a rated voltage of 50 W, others are rated at 150 W or even 300 W or more. Pick a model, and multiply its power by 100. (The answer will be in watts; divide that by 1000 to get kW.)
What problems prevent solar powered cars from becoming popular?
The initial purchase price of the car would be pretty high. The limited range of the car due to the inefficiency of the solar panels and the solar panels would have to be huge in order to move a street legal car with all the safety equipment that would be required. The replacement cost of the solar panels as they wear or break. Another would be if it's 100% solar with no battery back-up then your limited to day light driving only.

Where to buy solar power panels?
I installed Solar Panels On Home of mine 2 years ago and it does save you a lot of money and the installation was done by my husband. It was basically a DIY ( Do It Yourself ) Project that came through and now we are currently spending our money ( that we would normally use on electric bills ) on renovating our house.
