No, I monitored it, and verified by looking at the historic
consumption. EVERYTHING is on its own circuit breaker. The owner lost
his building in 911 and built this house (I believe) because of wanting
something that he believed would give him the flexibility for many
contingencies.

A house with 2 x 400A panels draws a maximum of 20A? There's something
wrong in your numbers.

I am working on a project that requires someone with more
experience than I have in generators and transfer switches.
Would you please contact me off line if interested
Currently
Utility fed house with two 400 amp panels. Maximum total house
current drawn over a long monitoring period is 20 amps. Owner
wanted these panels so almost every load is on its own breaker.
The house also has a 25kVa generator on an automatic transfer switch.
Proposed
Installing two 3.2kW arrays each on its own Xantrex 80amp600Vdc
charge controller.
Battery backup system to take through momentaries and short
duration (1 day? outages)
Want to use existing generator to charge batteries and power house
in the event of utility outage, and batteries are at low voltage
state.
Required to automatically revert to Current situation if inverter
fails and no one is home. [This is the part that I need assistance on]
Thank you, Chris
