Becoming Offgrid
You could also implement the neutral disconnect methods for the 240v/120v load panel if you wanted to increase your safety with this system.
I would use a manual transfer switch because I like to be around for events like this. If you want automated things it will drive up the price, but should work pretty much the same way as this setup. You can have a service side ATS put into place and then wire direct from the main service panel to AC IN on the GW5KES - so when your mains go down, the ATS takes over and kicks on the genset. The example I have provided is just for those looking for more control at a better price.
