Time2roll, just to be clear, that means L2 would go direct to the panel with no neutral and no ground going alongside it. Correct? This is exactly how I initially planned to wire it, but I've seen some suggestions that L2 needs its own neutral and grounds rather than relying on the neutral and ground coming out of the inverter.
Not sure what you mean by "alongside".
L1,N,G take a detour though the inverter and continue to the main panel. I would assume as L1, N, G emerge from the inverter and continue to the main panel they would be physically alongside L2.
Sorry, by "alongside" I meant N and G literally taking the same path as L2 (not through inverter). Yes, eventually the N and G return from the inverter and would indeed be physically next to L2. However I've seen advice saying there should be separate N and G that do not detour through the inverter.
Ground is not switched. Ground just passes through and can be branched off as many connections as you like.
I believe Neutral needs to be switched during inverter operation to prevent back feeding. If you have any 240v items the L2 would need to be switched also.
Best way might be to add a stand alone 50 amp transfer switch, basic Victron inverter, separate Victron battery charger. Not even sure you need Victron if you are not going to use the Mulitiplus power combining feature.
