Not usually. They connect differently.
No, if you have a Square D distribution panel only Square D breakers will fit in it.
A Sq D QOT breaker is a tandem breaker usually used in home retrofits. It will fit into a QO distribution panel but only in certain positions having a mounting pan rail slot. See related links for more information.Probably not. Take out an existing breaker and compare. If you don't know how to safely take out an existing breaker, you shouldn't be messing with a replacement anyway.
A QP type breaker is made by Siemens for a Siemens distribution panel and should not be interchanged with Square D. A Siemens QP type bolt in breaker will bolt into a SQ distribution panel but it is up to the electrical inspector to make the call as to it being safe or not. Square D breaker types are QO and QB. You might be mistaking the QP for a QB on the breaker. The QO breaker is a plug in breaker usually used in home wiring and the QB is a bolt in breaker. QB breakers are usually specified for industrial and commercial use.
The home type used to be a little less expensive, and they do not have the little red flag when the breaker trips, The qo has the little red flag, which is eaiser to see, which breaker is tripped when you open the panel door the little red flag you can see where with the home style you look for the breaker that is not completly on. To me it was a step backwards with the introduction of the home style breaker we have installed both panels and Q O I prefer. And the breakers are not interchanable from panel to panel
Only a Square D designed breaker can be installed in a Square D manufactured panel.

No, only Sq D breakers will fit into a Sq D panel. I believe Square D makes at least two styles of breakers. Home and industrial. I have a GE entrance/distribution box that has Square D (home), Murray, Bryant, Westinghouse, and GE breakers, all working together. I hope this helps.
Many panels do not have a ground buss. Look for a set of screws mounted directly on the back of the panel adjacent to the breaker outputs. These are to be used for the ground wires. Square D panels are one of many that use this configuration.
The panels will cover an area of 352.44 square feet.

Breakers are build to snap onto a buss bar in a breaker panel. If they look the same on the back end then they will likely work. If not do not try to force a fit. To add a little more to this: 1st of all it depends on what kind of Square D you are talking about. Square D Homline breakers will fit in a GE panel but GE breakers will not fit into a Homeline panel in my experience. Square D QO is not compatible with either.
They didn't used to be, however, Square D now has a "homeline" line of circuit breakers which interchange with gould. They are available at Lowes, Home Depot and other hardware stores. Make sure you purchase the identical amperage Square D "homeline" breaker.
it depends on the size of the solar panels
No tandem breakers are of the same value.
