I'm needing to add a sub panel to get free spade for adding more breakers. Additional space is needed for an automatic gate opener and generator plug. Also, maybe solar in the future. I have 2 free slots in main panel which is currently being used to power shop. Main service is 400amps and main house panel/breaker is 200amps. Shop is 100amps.
Primary question is by code can I place a sub panel below my main panel. Below is the best location for simplified connection as shown in pic. There's about 28" from bottom of main panel to the trim.
Thanks for any advise on in advance. Drew
