Would you mind going into a little more detail on this if you can spare the time?

It sounds like you isolated circuits in the main panel to create a pseudo 'sub panel' (i.e. not a completely separate panel). Those circuits are for all your wall receptacles, microwave, fridge, TVs and ????. What doesn't run on inverter power other than A/C?

Is the 30A breaker the one that receives its feed from shore power and does the transfer switch in the inverter sense the shore power and shut down? What I'm wondering is how you controlled shore power back feed as to not damage the inverter?

Thanks.
