No just the branch circuit would have power. Main panel would be dead while inverting.

You would actually remove the branch circuit romex from the main panel and attach it to the inverter output.
Got it. The inverter input is supplied by the branch circuit breaker (not connected to the branch circuit itself) - The output of the inverter feeds the branch circuit (not connected to the branch circuit breaker). Now I have an extra double-gang circuit panel and a couple breakers. Also, I'm down about half a days work.
On second thought, I'll keep the breaker panel. It will be nice to have an extra emergency kill switch for shore power - or inverter power. All the romex is run, just need to switch the stuff around in the house panel and slave panel.
