Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions configured to cause a controller associated with an adaptive electrical power distribution panel receiving electrical power from either or both of a utility electrical grid and at least one alternative power source and selectively outputting power to one or more of a plurality of branch circuits, appliances, or devices, to:
continuously or periodically monitor the utility electrical grid;
when the grid power is within specifications, power a first branch circuit, appliance, or device from the alternative power source and a different, second branch circuit, appliance, or device from the utility electrical grid;
continuously or periodically monitor one or more conditions;
in response to the monitored conditions, algorithmically divide the plurality of branch circuits, appliances, or devices into a first group to receive power from the alternative power source and a second group to not receive power from the alternative power source; and
break electrical connections between the alternative power source and the branch circuits, appliances, or devices of the second group.
