Statesville, NC
For a small generator, the panel interlock kit is the best way. The problem is, even if you have only a 5000 watt generator, you still have to have a 200 amp switch if you use a double throw switch. With the interlock kit you only need an extra double pole breaker to match your generator size, and an outside connector plug. Simple, easy, and safe.
