Thanks guys. I'm the electrician, and I know how to wire up most things but two different sources of power is out of my comfort zone right now. I will keep researching and check out that link.
What I had in my head was two breaker boxes side by side. I would have grid powering one breaker box and solar powering the other. The only things that would have a solar plug and a grid plug would be the two fridges and the deep freeze. Once I got my solar system up and running, I would plug into the solar plugs for those three items. If I found that I didn't have enough batteries or enough panels, I could easily just plug them back into grid plugs until I got more panels and batteries. Then once those three things are running well, I can add more panels and batteries and then slowly move more circuits over from the grid breaker box to the solar breaker box.

thanks
Austin
