Please clarify the above, as wiring both the input and output of an
inverter to a distribution panel IS really a bad idea, and doesn't
conform to ABS or NEC codes........

============================================

The distribution panel (or behind it) is usually the only place where
you can find a centralized point where you can interrupt the power.

The inverter has to be wired in such a way that it can never see an
independant source of AC power at its output terminals. As long as
both the AC input to the inverter/charger and the inverter output pass
through seperate circuit breakers, there should be no issue with
wiring codes.

How would you do it?
