Chris, Assuming there will be 48V batteries in the system - connect the Tigo transmitter via a 48V to 12V power supply and come off of the battery bussing. If there are no batteries now, use the 120V-12V power supply from the backed up loads panel - then when they get batteries that panel will remain live even during power outage and allow panels to remain on even with grid outage. You will need to install an additional rapid shutdown switch in line with power to the transmitter if rapid shutdown is required or desired.. If there are no batteries now, then solar can't stay on anyway during power outages.. Sunny Regards, Kirpal Khalsa Oregon LRT#25 Oregon Solarworks LLC www.oregonsolarworks.com 541-299-0402
