2 main panels 2 portable generators

[Twoskinsoneman]

I had someone ask me an interesting question. He has 2 side by side 200A main panels fed from his meter. He asked me if he could legally and safely wire a separate portable generator through approved back fed breakers with interlocks to each panel. What do you think? Any code violation?

Sounds okay.

I think in general there would be no prohibition on this. The details might be a little interesting.
