By investing in solar power, you are not only securing your home’s energy needs during unexpected outages but also contributing positively to the planet by reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

What is the difference between an interlock and a transfer switch?

How does the interlock prevent backfeeding?

The slide plate physically covers one breaker handle while exposing the other, making it mechanically impossible to close both the main utility breaker and generator breaker at the same time regardless of user error.

Why choose this over an automatic standby generator?

Manual interlocks cost 90 percent less than permanently installed standby generators, avoid ongoing fuel system maintenance, and work with portable generators you can take to other properties or loan to neighbors during extended outages common in Montana's rural areas.

When do I need to physically operate the interlock?

You manually switch between utility and generator power each time an outage occurs and again when utility service returns—the process takes under a minute once you connect the generator to the inlet receptacle.

What size generator works with an interlock system?

Any portable generator producing 3,000 watts or more can power essential circuits through an interlock, though 5,000 to 7,500-watt models provide enough capacity for refrigeration, well pumps, and heating systems to operate simultaneously.

Power outages in Western Montana can occur unexpectedly and with little warning, leaving homes and businesses vulnerable to the disruptions that follow. To safeguard your property and maintain peace of mind, it's essential to invest in a professionally installed standby generator or backup power system.
