Why am I see many installations with the generation disconnect between the gateway and service? Instead of between the generation panel and the gateway. If I’m waiting for PTO, the switch shall remain open and I don’t have power to the house. Well I guess you could open the breakers to all generation components, but if the utility saw the switch closed they my get angry.
Result is, if the disconnect is thrown the house is running on batteries. If grid is down, and the disconnect is between generation panel and gateway, there will not be any power to the house..
what is best, not cheapest?
bigger question has anyone ever seen the power company ever use the disconnect?
