I need a generator for my house, but I don't know anything about them (except that I have a transfer switch on my breaker). Why wouldn't you want to backfeed a breaker panel with an inverter...

Yeah I’ve had that same thought as well and if you run extension cords to the neighbors so they can charge their phones they probably won’t be too upset either. Lol

And you also generally only get a single phase (unless you go really expensive inverter) so anything 220v (like an electric stove) is out.
