WHy is this? If I do that the main breaker will be at the bottom which
seems odd.

In Canada, panels are split by a divider into the main breaker and the
branch circuit sections. It is against code to run the main feed
through the branch circuit section or vice versa, so unless you want
to bring the cable up the side and over and down you must invert the
panel.

In the US, local codes may vary.

However in Canada, you may mount the panel sideways which is much more
sensible. This is against code in the US (so far).

So, check your local codes.
