Does anyone have any good suggestions for how to have both an outdoor generator inlet and an indoor solar inlet/inverter connection tied into my interlock kit? Currently, I have an outdoor 50A inlet, which ties in to an interlock on my panel. I would like to start experimenting with going solar...

I think I was assuming this would not work because the neutral for the unused inlet (whichever one is not being powered) would always be live? Essentially, if I cascade two breaker panels with interlocks does the neutral need to be “switched” I think would be the term?

Thanks to you both for the feedback here. I think you're right that this is probably the best option, either an updated interlock which handles both or some sort of pivoting interlock like that second picture that also ties down into the next breaker down and forces it to be off if the interlock...

Thanks all for the input here! If I'm tracking this correctly the setup would look similar to what I've picturered below when it comes to the interlock switch portion, is that right? Would this type of setup also work at all for how I layed out the inverter/solar as a backup option for the...

Hey All - Would appreciate a gut check here. I have a 50mp interlock with 50 amp inlet already set up in my home, but I'd like to add the ability to feed into that interlock from an indoor inlet used with a battery bank/solar inverter as well, or at least have the option if needed in an...

Just curious because you seem to be much more wary of the batteries in your home than I'd ever considered...aren't LiFePO4 batteries generally much safer and without the potential for thermal runaway than other battery chemistry's? Are you just trying to avoid even the smallest possibility of a...

Thanks to both of you for the input! Actually just happened to receive the transfer panel and found they are Eaton CH2100 breakers so since the panel lugs are rated for 6 AWG I'm thinking I'll just swap out both breakers to be either two CH 50A's for two 50A inlets or a CH 50A and a CH30A with...

Love it! Do you know what the pivoting part might be called or who makes those?
