Hi there,
Does it not depend on the size of the generator? I know that solar grid tie into a diesel generator derived grid is done on several pacific Islands.

A client called me wondering if he could run his small Honda generator off grid connected to his load center and then turn on his PV system. What would happen if more PV power is produced than is being consumed? Anyone tried this? Best, August
