Be prepared and safe with an Interlock kit for your existing panel
If you have an FPE panel you could be out of luck. I looked high and low. You can change the guts to a newer brand. You will have trouble with your insurance comp. anyway. "they don't like FPE" not only are the breakers not accurate, the panel dimensions are too small also.
