I HAVE 2 GROWATT SPF5000 ES CHARGE CONTROLLERS, A 5KW MIDPOINT TRANSFORMER AND 3 LIFE POWER 4 -51.2 VOLT IN A RACK. IM BUILDING A SMALL CABIN IN THE WOODS AND WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO CHARGE THE BATTERIES WITH A GENERATOR UNTIL MY SOLAR ARRAY IS COMPLETED. DOES ANYONE HAVE A WIRING DIAGRAM THEY WOULD SHARE SO THAT I DONT MAKE ANY MISTAKES DOING THIS? I DO HAVE 3 EG4 WATERPROOF CHARGERS AND 3 S132 PEL 64R 4 PV DISCONNECTS INCLUDED IN THIS BUILD.

Sorry for offending you. 42 years at a powerhouse that requires cap locks on all interactions. Retired now and need some adjusting back to normal.
Thanks for the info though. It is appreciated.

What is a powerhouse? Just curious.
 
I worked for a power company producing electricity at a generating station. The power house is the place the boilers, turbines and
generators are located that produce the power that goes out on the grid.
 
Your inverter will have a set of terminals that look something like this. You simply wire the ACout to your electrical panel, and the AC in to a wall-mount generator socket. You then make an extension cord with two four-prong plugs/sockets that go from the L1, L2, N, G of your generator to the L1, L2, N, G of your inverter.
