Default Two Input Power Strip? (for transfer switch between two A/C sources)

Is there a simple power strip that has two male

outlets on the strip?

It's needed for quickly switching some stuff
between solar power and regular house A/C mains
power.

Extension cord comes from the solar panels and
inverter to the power strip, and the power strip
is also plugged into the A/C mains.

When there's enough sun, the idea is to throw the
switch on the power strip to it takes A/C input
from the solar side.

The same thing could be achieved by unplugging
from A/C mains and plugging into the solar
inverter, but that gives a couple seconds of no
power, which is not desired.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk.


YOU SHOULD GET A POWER TRANSFER SWITCH FROM THE COMPANY THAT SUPPLIED
YOUR SOLAR POWER SYSTEM....
