Hi Drake, SMA has very good solutions for this. Does this out of the box without a bunch of custom control systems. I have put a few systems in like this, but the renewables not yet online (generator / battery now). If you google Isle of Eig you will find some info on what they have done there. http://islandsgoinggreen.org/about/eigg-electric/

Some years back, on this list, an article was linked about a community with a central generator that had PV input to the generator supplied, local grid, using electronic controls. Has any progress been made in this technology? Does anyone have a link to the electronic control equipment or any other relevant information?
