[RE-wrenches] Sol-Ark 12k w/ Generac Transfer Switch

[drake.chamberlin at redwoodalliance.org]

I've controlled Generac Guardians, using the transfer switch and adding
relays so the inverter decides when it should start. These were out of
warranty units. Checking with Generac about a proposed new generator, I
was told that it would void the warranty to do that. I was told that a
new Generac is supposed to come our around the end of the year that can
be controlled by an inverter.

The Sol-Ark has a two wire start (NO or NC) capability, however, the Generac transfer switch operates on loss of 240V. Is my only option to use a relay driven by the two wire start to drop 240V to the transfer switch?
