No, not just a smart transfer switch. It actually "blends" power from a 120 volt "shore power" source so that if extra power is needed it will be drawn from the battery bank. Great for situations where there is only a 15 amp (or in the case of a small inverter generator 13 amp) power source.
Starting the air conditioner causes a surge--the generator would trip out. But with the hybrid inverter, you can "cap" the input at 13 amps and the extra power needed will be drawn from the battery bank. That means the generator can be run in eco mode, too.
OK, so it's a genius-level transfer switch. :B
