Think 8 mini-refrigerators, one sub-z large refrigerator, and an under-cabinet ice maker, not to mention air conditioning. I would like to start these loads in stages if they all call to start up immediately upon system startup or during ATS switch over.

It's going to be outdoors in Florida and they expect it to make 25-50 pounds of ice per day. I am finding it really hard to estimate energy use for this appliance.
