Thanx-
I have generators but not smart enough to hook up self-starting with transfer switches.
To live in the middle of nowhere pretty far from somewhere is not always EZ.
This brings some nuances.
I have asked around, and even internet looking for answers.
SO, just purchased a little Honda 2200 thing with the inverter.! (Cute)
If I am here it would be running with the main off, and it would be charging the Battery of choice and run any little extras i need..
But 20/20 hindsight, --.. I just discovered a self-starting little generator !!!!!

I think between all these options this can be solved .
