Thanks, do you have a link to this product? I tried to search but I’m not able to find it.

Based on some of the initial replies here and the issue of providing power at 240v through an interlock, I assumed this idea was dead in the water.. But I’ll add some details nonetheless— If I could make this happen (utilize the interlock with solar/batteries, that is), I would like to treat...

So here we are years later. This thread originally made me decide to do nothing at all. Have you ever come up with a solution? It seems we are in the same boat with the inlet setup, and cheap electricity. That pesky 240v situation really throws a wrench into things. I believe my water pump is...

That makes sense. My thinking was… Since I already have this existing setup for a generator, where I’m able to hand pick the loads by selecting breakers, why not also have a secondary use for it by possibly employing an inverter, some batteries and solar panels (or simply an all-in-one solar...

I’ll take a parts list when you’re ready :):)

These replies have been invaluable, thank you all! For the purpose of this thread you all have answered my questions and concerns and I’ve now ruled out the idea of using the dedicated interlock for solar. Since I feel that I am now “in the same boat” as everyone else when it comes to solar home...

“I've casually seen that when you go to 240v and split phase solar systems, the costs rise significantly.” This alone could rule it out altogether.. If it doesn’t make sense to utilize the interlock setup, I will avoid. I would prefer to seek out the most economical options!

I attached a picture of my panel. It says “mechanical interlock” right there :) Thanks for clearing that up. I would love to do one of these recommendations (feed the grid or constant on critical needs sub panel) however a) I don’t think I’m capable to handle the install myself and b) I was...

Hello all, I am trying to find out whether I can utilize (all, or most of) my existing transfer switch setup by swapping out the gas generator with a solar generator. The setup was installed by an electrician for the purpose of using it with a gas generator. I have a power inlet box and...
