Schneider gave me a headache. LOL. Get ready for a lot of computer time to update the firmware.
The insight home is a device that allows communication between Schneider products. Inverters (XW PRO) and charge controllers all need to communicate and monitor. The insight home allows you to see exactly what your system is doing in real time and historical data.

PDP stands for Power Distribution Panel. Schneider makes two models of the PDP for the XW PRO inverter. There is a small, and large PDP. Both come with one 250A circuit breaker as a battery disconnect, and some AC circuit breakers. Both have a means to connect the single 250A breaker to one inverter.
The small PDP is made for one inverter only. It takes up less room, and costs a little less than the full size. As of this video, it is about $650 which makes it a real bargain if you know for certain you only need one inverter. This mounts under the inverter.
The large PDP takes up a little more room than the small PDP. It mounts next to the inverter, and comes with a wire-way that mounts under the inverter. The large PDP can accommodate up to 3 inverters allowing you to expand your system over time. As of this video, it costs about $1,200. It's only worth it if you know you will want more than one inverter (now or in the future).
