Why parallel as opposed to the same wires? There are good answers for this, but for most people what is best second circuit box that runs just the fridge and a few important lights (in my case the well for water). This way you use the same appliances for everything. A parallel circuit implies when the power is out you have to use something different.

As I type this my house is running from a backup generator. The power company has their repair crew in route to whatever the issue is. I'm looking into how/if I can add solar to the system as well.
