OP update.
So this weekend I decided to do some tinkering. I wired up a 12V switch in parallel with the existing switch on the 1500 watt inverter, just like the video shows for wiring up the wireless control module except I just used the regular switch instead and no power input necessary for the switch. I didn't even have to solder, the connection used male/female connectors and I just made a piggy-pack connector to hook up both switches. It works perfect, either switch can turn the inverter on and off. I haven't "installed" the new remote switch yet, it was more a proof of concept job. I'll probably do a switch for each inverter and install the switches so they are .
