Is there an adaptor to connect a Yeti 6000 to an existing transfer switch?
My house has a standard 6-circuit transfer switch already wired into our breaker box. I usually plug in my Honda 3000 generator when we lose power, which happens several times a year for 2 - 5 days. I believe it connects to the generator with a 20-amp, standard 4-pin plug. See picture.
Is there an adapter that I can use to plug a Yeti 6000 into my existing transfer switch? I am not going to remove it and wire in a Yeti switch. However, if I can somehow plug in a Yeti, I will buy a 3.5 Day+ kit immediately.
Here's my next question: we have to electric cars and I wonder if we can charge to cars from the Yeti system?
Here's my last question: we have 30 solar panels on our roof. How can I charge a Yeti from them?
Thanks in Advance,
Russ

Hi @russkendall ,
Our home integration kit usually comes with a 3 prong extension cable. Since you already have a transfer switch, you would need to get an adaptor that switches the 4 prong connection, to a 3 prong connection. Something like this (https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-14-30R-Female-10-30P-Converter/dp/B08PFCSDWV/ref=asc_df_B08PFCSDWV/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=475715987248&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=15305033938571257238&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9003534&hvtargid=pla-1078091101351&th=1). Then you get a heavy duty 3 prong extension cable, and it should allow you to connect the Yeti to the transfer switch. You will still be limited to 2000W max output from the Yeti, but it should work.
Charging EV typically does not work out on the Yeti power station since the chargers tend to take more power than the Yeti can output.
More than likely, you will not be able to use your roof solar panels. These type of panels tend to produce a lot more power than the Yeti can accept at a higher voltage. If you could reduce the production to about 600-700W with a voltage lower than 50V, then it would work.

With gtil2 with limiter he can do both things but he should get batteries cheaper and have three times the amount of power he can still do it with smaller. Witch you set up in the settings you can set the max amps or watts also cut off when batteries are low ct limiter to limit power out as well.
