This is why I personally spent the $$ on a proper standby generator with multiple ATS for the multiple panels.

Same here.

Massively painful, which led to some boring moments testing, testing and more testing. But after 5 months with electricians, electrical certifiers, battery vendors and inverter vendors (and a little voltage/amp sensor to capture slow voltage grid brownouts that kept tripping my battery), it's been solid for nearly a year. And looking good.

I can now travel and not worry about the Mrs. waking me up from my sleep, on the far side of the world :-).
