The invention converts the electrical circuitry in a premises for use as an adaptive power bus to which one or more power generating devices may be connected using a standard electrical outlet, without the need for a separate dedicated circuit or any additional electrical wiring and continuing to operate as a traditional power bus, while preventing electrical circuitry from being overloaded. Embodiments of the adaptive power bus provide the advantage of being able to plug power generating devices directly into a standard electrical outlet without the need for a separate dedicated circuit or any additional electrical wiring, while protecting electrical circuitry from being overloaded by disabling power generating or power consumption devices exactly when needed, and re-enabling power generating and power consumption devices when a circuit overload condition is no longer present. Embodiments of the adaptive power bus allow a premises owners to configure which power generating or power consumption devices to prioritize and which should be turned off or turned down during a circuit overload condition. Embodiments of the adaptive power bus allow power generating devices to be conveniently plugged anywhere within premises, conveniently moved from location to location within premises, or conveniently moved from premises to premises as needed. Embodiments of the adaptive power bus dramatically reduce installation time, installation expense and inspection requirements for a power generating device, thereby lowering the fixed cost and overall pay back period of a power generating device.
