Another option is a generator interlock for your main panel if one is available. This uses a generator breaker to backfeed the panel, but mechanically prevents the generator breaker from being 'on' unless the main breaker is 'off'.
This company makes them for many different panel models.

I have Square D panel and bought the OEM interlock that was available, UL stamped etc., for liability reasons.
