Ok so I have this new install question for at my house so if any of you electricians or solar installers could help ?
I have a grid tied solar edge feeding main panel. I want to install a new SE XW+ 6848 as backup and grid tie.
The problem is I do not want, nor would I have a need for a backup loads panel since I can run my whole house on the SEXW+ if needed? I want to install a shunt trip main breaker in my main panel for the main disconnect, and shunt disconnect breaker for the SE GRID , and a contactor for the SE LOAD? I would really like to use the same conductors from the panel to the SE? I have considered just doing a manual interlock for a backup breaker (SE LOAD) and a double throw disconnect to pull from SE GRID to SE LOAD?
Once the grid goes back up I would manually turn on and reset?
Any thoughts? I guess I really just need a automatic transfer switch but finding one to pull my main panel on and off is crazy?
