Price out your exterior box, socket plugs,, cable to the gen. Now look
at a Generac transfer switch kit, for 300$ you get everything , a pre
wired 6 circuit panel with 2 watt meters, exterior box, extra sockets,
plugs , cable. It is cheaper buying the kit, easy to install and you can
power everything you need.

I think you miss the point of the Square D interlock kit. The little
generator sub panels only handle what circuits you relocate to that sub
panel, the $30 interlock kit takes the place of a full transfer switch
for generators supplying up to 125A. Since it provides power to the
entire panel it also lets you power any circuit you need and do load
management as required.
