To connect our inverter to the panel, we simply connected our inverter to a receptacle which was running on the desired phase (L2 in our case). Ideally, this receptacle should not be on a circuit containing a GFCI or arc fault breaker and should not have any loads between the inverter and the panel.
Please consider the following situation:
In the above situation, the 15A breaker is not protecting you. If the inverter can supply more than 15 amps, then the wires between panel and the inverter could be carrying up to 27 amps in the above diagram which would be over the rated amperage of the wires!
...
To connect our inverter to both phases we will need to connect to two different receptacles on different phases. We will need to ensure all 240v breakers are turned off.
