My next step is to figure out the last item on the list, (Transfer Switch, Lugs, heat shrink, cables, etc.). Is there a site/can someone help me decide all the miscellaneous items and specifications of these items that will be required.
This is off-grid, right? If that is the case, you do not need a transfer switch. The Conext 4048 is designed with both AC-in and AC-out terminals, so you simply go to Home Depot and purchase a standard split-phase main panel like this one.

The L1 terminal of AC-out is wired to the top terminal 1 of the panel, and L2 of AC-out to the right-hand terminal. The Neutral, N, goes to either of the vertical bussbars on either left or right. The ground connection on the AC-out terminal gets wired to the bussbar with the green screw. All the ground wires that come into the panel from outlets, recepticals, ect, get connected at the green bussbar.
For proper grounding, you may use multiple below-ground metal elements, like water-pipes, steel well casings, pounded ground rods, ect, that are all connected together. You also may have multiple above-ground grounding elements like light-fixtures, power sockets, ect all connected together. BUT, all the below-ground elements and all the above-ground elements may ONLY be connected and one and only one spot. That may be at the main panel pictured below, or inside the inverter housing. Follow the instructions in your installation manual.
In North America, you also need to bond Neutral to Ground, also at one and only one location. Again, this is either in the main panel, or in the inverter. Follow the instructions.
Lastly, you may connect a generator directly to the inverter, via the AC-in terminals. You wire a plug like this into the wall, and run a 4-wire 240VAC cable from the generator directly to the plug. The inverter will receive the power, and convert it into DC to charge the batteries.
This is a 30 Amp 125/250-Volt L14-30 Power inlet box that is designed for outdoor use and can be hardwired directly to transfer switches or panels. This rain-tight, rustproof structure is perfect with
