Hey so they actually sent us Gen2 units so the swap was pretty quick and painless and didn't require replacing the breakers, but during the install I got to thinking...
Could you run the Gen2 units with 100amp breakers (and the existing wiring that supports up to 100 amps) but set to output say, 32 or 24 amps from the HPWC? Changing the HPWC output is just a little switch inside the unit. Still code if you do this? The panel has 400amp service so it wouldn't be bottlenecked anywhere but by the HPWC output setting.
Glad to hear you got the Gen2 units. Totally within code to set the output lower in the HPWC and have it on a 100A breaker with correctly sized wiring because the equipment is rated & listed for the 100A breaker.
