We have started doing away with the ATS all together. Generac recently released a FW code you can enter to indicate to the generator you want it to Start/Stop with 2-wire configuration. A generator that size I would feed directly into the SolArk and let the SolArk Start/Stop function. This will

I'm up to almost half a dozen SolArk's now. . I am falling deeper and deeper in love with each one. . The resilience they have (both with surge capacity and the topology they treat the batteries with) I am quite impressed with.. ALWAYS stellar support, ALWAYS friendly and helpful for solutions..
